What reading level is English Traits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Against the cry of the old tenantry, and the sympathetic cry of the English press, they have rooted out and planted anew, and now six millions of people live, and hve better on the same land that fed three millions.
The English barons, in every period, have been brave and great, after the estimate and opinion of their times.
Tlie grand old halls scattered up and down in England are dumb vouchers to the state and broad hospitality of their ancient lords. Shakspeare's portraits of good Duke Humph
...rey, of Warwick, of Northumberland, of Talbot, were drawn in strict consonance with the traditions. A sketch of the Earl of Shrewsbury, from the pen of Queen Elizabeth's Archbishop Parker ; * Lord Herbert of Cher- bury's autobiography ; the letters and essays of Sir Philip Sidney ; the anecdotes preserved by the antiqua- ries Puller and Collins ; some glimpses at the interiors of noble houses, which we owe to Pepys and Evelyn ; the details which Ben Jonson's masques (performed at Kenil- worth, Althorpe, Belvoir, and other noble houses) record or suggest ; down to Aubrey's passages of the life of Hobbes in the house of the Earl of Devon, are favorable pictures of a romantic style of manners.
