What reading level is Types of Naval Officers Drawn From the History of the British Navy With Some Ac book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Neither natural temper, nor acquired habit of mind, respond to the call. To pass through the French line, when the wind shifted, was an instigation too sudden and a risk too great for his own initiative. The balance of evi- dence shows that it was due to the suggestion, and even more to the pressure, of Sir Charles Douglas. Carried beyond his habitual submission by the impulse of a great thought, and unbur- dened by the ultimate responsibility which must remain with the admiral, the Captain of ...the Fleet not only urged lufiing through the enemy's line, but — so the story runs — in the excitement of the moment, and seeing the chance slipping past, even under the then sluggish breeze, he ordered the helm down. The admiral, thus faced, coun- termanded the order. A moment of silence fol- lowed, during which the two men stepped apart, the admiral even entering the cabin, which would be but a few paces from the wheel. Returning, he permitted Douglas to have his way ; an act which, whether done courteously or grudgingly, does not bespeak professional conviction, but the simple acceptance of another's will in place of one's own indecision.
