What reading level is Historical And Miscellaneous Questions for the Use of Young People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Did the Crusades produce any changes in Europe ? Yes : the more barbarous mingling with the more polished, acquired a greater degree of refinement. The fiefs fell into the hands of the crown, and the feudal system went to decay ; for the estates of the barons were dissipated, and their race was often ex- tinguished in these perilous expeditions. " Their poverty, " as Gibbon remarks, " extorted from their pride those charters of freedom which unlocked the fetters of the slave, secured the farm o...f the peasant and the shop of the artificer, and gradually restored a substance and a soul to the most numerous and useful part of the community. " Then the Crusades were commendable, were they not? No : the benefits arising from them were merely accidental ; but as the historian Mill observes, " comparing the object with the cost, the gain proposed with the certain peril, we call the attempt the extremest idea of madness, and wonder that the Western world should for 200 years pour forth its blood and treasure in chase of a phantom ; but the crusades were not a greater reproach to virtue and wisdom than most of those contests to which, in every age of the world, pride and ambition have given rise.
