What reading level is History of the English Institutions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The number of Scotch peers which, at the time of the Union, was 154, has now by extinction and absorption into the peerage of the United Kingdom, Parliament 159 dwindled down to one-half of that number ; and as no new members of the order can be created, the whole body may possibly at some future period altogether disappear, being incorporated into the national nobility.
III. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
3. Early Composition. The regular and unvarying attendance in Parliament of representatives from b...oth counties and boroughs dates from JJ29IL In that year the number of knights who sat was 74, and the number of burgesses 200. The knights seem to have been origin- ally chosen only by the military tenants in capite, but as their election took place in the county court, in which all freeholders had a voice, it probably soon fell into the hands of the whole body of freeholders. The deputies for a borough were probably elected originally by all the burgesses or resident householders, but when a poorer class of householders sprang up, unable to discharge the duties attaching to full citizenship, the franchise became limited in some towns to the inhabitants who paid taxes under the name of scot and lot, and in others to those who held houses or land in the town by burgage tenure.
