What reading level is An Epoch in Irish History : Trinity College, Dublin, Its Foundation And Early Fortunes, 1591-1660 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It might further be urged that when the number of fellows was increased to sixteen, nay even in later times to twenty-eight, such a body of Governors would be unwieldy, and unfit to act with promptness and consistency. But the course of history has disclosed the unsoundness of the statute. The increasing wealth and com- fort inside the College, and the competition in the learned professions, not to speak of the recent relaxation regarding celibacy, have naturally made the tenure of fellowships ...in most cases a life-tenure, so that the governing body consists generally of very old men. Had Temple been told that his innovation would result in men of thirty years' standing having no determining voice or vote in the government of the College, he would have recoiled from it with amazement. It would have been easy at the outset to make the Governors a committee of the fellows, elected for their efficiency rather than their seniority, seeing that seniority could hardly lose its due importance in a body of educated men.
