What reading level is Ireland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few came back from Connaught, and others, who happened to be allied with the Butlers, regained their lands later ; but most of the landlords and farmers were uprooted. The greater part of the county passed to Cromwellians, many of them Puritan officers who had piu'chased the shares assigned to their soldiers. These officers were short-sighted ; for if they had encouraged the veterans to settle there, in accordance with Cromwell's plan, they would THE ROCK OF CASHEL ORMONDE 77 not have been fo...rced to permit so many Irish to remain or retm^n. As it was, many of the peasants sm-vived the storm that swept their masters away ; but even the children of these have a foreign strain often, and you will find English names under the thatched roofs on the hills.
These peasants are a stubborn stock, to my mind the most manly and most worthy of honour in Ireland ; they make strong farmers and excellent soldiers ; they have a rough pride of their own, and a cheerful and bold cordiality. Here you find none of the subjected despondence of a broken race.
