What reading level is Germany From the Earliest Period, volume 1 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ancient laws and warlike constitution of Germany were retained. The army was composed solely of the Gothic popu- lation (the rest being prohibited to carry arms), commanded by the Grafs. The Goths, being Arians, had their separate church. They were recommended, by Theodorich, to imi- tate the polished manners of the Romans, who retained two- thirds of the lands, and generally the cities. The prohibition to bear arms was the only change in their ancient privileges.
The Catholic religion was ...protected. All theological dis- putes were put an end to by the practice of universal tol- eration; and, on one occasion, when a Catholic, with the intention of flattering the king, professed Arianism, Theodo- rich condemned him to death, "for," said he, "he who can betray his God will betray his king." The morality prac- ticed by the Goths was, on the other hand, recommended to the corrupt Romans. Protected by a thirty years' peace, agriculture, manufactures, and commerce flourished; the devastated provinces regained their former prosperity; and the great work of draining the Pontine Marshes was com- menced, and personally overlooked by Theodorich from his fortress, part of which is still standing on the high rock of Terracina.
