What reading level is Melrose Abbey Notes Descriptive And Historical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The monastic buildings were all on the north side of the church. The wall enclosing the precincts of the monastery was more than a mile in circumference.
The rules of the Cistercian order were very strict, and for a long period were rigidly enforced. When a time of laxity came, there were vigorous efforts made to return to the strictness of discipline and holiness of life inculcated at the first. But wealth flowed into the monasteries. The nobles, stimulated by the ex- ample of the king, heaped... benefits upon them; and the monks, like Jeshurun of old, " waxed fat, " and kicked off the restraints of godly discipline ; and holiness of life was forgotten. The Reformation became a necessity. The monasteries did good work ; and while such work 20 was needed, they were, in the good providence of God, the repositories of religion and centres of learning; and if they suffered from the common enemy there was sufficient vitality in the nation to restore them. But the art of printing being discovered, learn- ing was diffused among the people, and in this country the monastery was set aside as an effete institution.
