What reading level is An Outline Sketch of English Constitutional History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The House of Lords was naturally opposed to a measure which seemed about to destroy the political influence of the aristoc- racy, but the reformers made a brilliant defence, and it was only after one of the ablest debates in the history of the House that the bill was rejected by forty-one majority in a vote of three hundred and fifty-seven. The defeat of a government measure in the House of Lords does not call for the resignation of the ministry and, sustained by a vote of confidence immediatel...y passed in the House of Commons, the cabinet decided to prorogue Parliament in order that a new session might allow the reintroduction of the bill.
In the interval between the two sessions the public excitement reached the highest point that had ever attended any question before Parliament or perhaps that has ever been known since that time. All measures familiar to English and American politics to impress public opinion upon the legislature were employed, monster meetings, impassioned speeches, processions and petitions, newspaper articles and pamphlets; in places there was even rioting by the more radical supporters of the bill who expected larger results from it than it really produced.
