What reading level is The Story of Du Barry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not unlikely that an understanding existed between JNIadame Du Barry and the Abbe Terray, through which the JNIinister THE PETIT LEVEE 119 of Finance secured for himself a percentage of what he permitted her to squander. It is a matter of history that his mistress, known in fashionable Parisian circles by the name of La Sultane, received money, presumably in collijsion with the Abbe, for every act of favor or justice solicited from the department which he controlled.
Indeed, this degraded... creature and Madame Sabatin, the mistress of the Due de la Vrilliere, kept open shop for the sale of preferments of all kinds.
The Count Jean Du Barry is also a visi- tor at the petit levee, nor is it surprising to see him in quest of money. The class of men to which he belongs is one that in all ages has found its chief support in the earn- ings of frail women. It is a class, by the way, which has not yet passed from off the face of the earth, and has its representatives in the good society of the present day as well as in the slums.
