What reading level is Gentlemen of the House of Commons volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
225 those frankly expressed to the Spanish Ambassador, Gon- domar. He wondered that his ancestors let the House of Commons exist. For himself, he put up with what he found in being, and what he could not get rid of.
Bacon was, no doubt, largely responsible for the " Under- takers, " who completed the King's failure with his Commons. But evidently Bacon's original idea for managing the As- sembly had been, by a less clumsy method to deal with the lawyers, in whom the Court rightly saw the backbo...ne of the Opposition ; after these, and to some extent through these, the King was encouraged to think he might control the country gentlemen and merchants, who increasingly dominated the Assembly. This counsel scarcely can have been altogether sincere, and was so short-sighted, as coming from so shrewd a man as this author, as to seem astonishing. The advice must have been prompted by two motives, one of them characteristic of Bacon's besetting vanity, and the other of the pettiness which was the blemish of his intellect.
