What reading level is The Wars of Marlborough 1702 1709 volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Eugene, who was awaiting him, had been furnished with instructions which conflicted sharply with the views and aspirations of the Dutch. As regards the barrier, the Prince was to maintain, as Sinzendorf had maintained in 1706, that the towns composing it were to be extorted from France, and that the upkeep of the garrisons was to be found by . Holland. As regards the preUminaries in general, he was to insist that whatever compensation might be granted to PhiHp, Sicily and Naples could never be ...surrendered by the House of Hapsburg. To confound the Dutch, he was to explain that, upon strategic grounds, Sicily and Naples were as vital to the safety of Austria as the Spanish Netherlands to the safety of Holland, and that, if Philip were to have either, the Emperor would prefer that he should have the Spanish Netherlands. In both these matters, each of the disputants expected to prevail over the other with the assistance of the British Cabinet. But the British Cabinet, though it regarded the Austrian conception of a Dutch barrier as ridiculous, was proposing preUminaries of peace, which would almost certainly en- counter a great opposition from the Dutch.
