What reading level is England Under the Hanoverians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The alliance of a genius in mechanics with a genius in business inaugurated the age of steam.
The consequences of the invention were as remarkable as the invention itself. Improved by Watt himself with the assistance of such able coadjutors as John Rennie, Pickard and Murdock, steam power was rapidly applied to, and finally conquered, the industrial world. Steam pumps and hammei's were followed by steam mills for sawing, sugar, flour, silk, cotton and wool. By 1800 the new power had triumphed, ...and it was only a question of time when it would be applied with similar success to transport by land and water, and take a new form in the steam train and the steam ship. Nor is it uninteresting to remember that the steam engine and The Wealth of Nations were both gifts to the nation from Glasgow Univer- sity. The grant of a laboratory for his experiments to the one genius, and the professorial chair of the other, enabled the two greatest Scotsmen of the eighteenth century to be the pioneers of a twin revolution in the world of mechanics and the world of thought For twenty years after 1760 the conditions of communication and transport were deplorably bad.
