What reading level is Lectures On Ecclesiastical History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
X HAVE met with the observation, though I do not at present recollect where, tliat the world is ruled by names. It matters not who said so : but experience shows us, that there is more truth in the remark, than any one, at first hearing, would be apt to imagine. When names are first assigned to offices, or even to orders of men, there is commonly an association of ideas favourable or unfavourable in some respect or other, which is derived from the more ancient to the more recent application of ...the term. And even if the term should be coined for the occasion, the materials whence it is taken, that is, the known etymology, produces the same effect. It invariably gives rise to certain associations; these influence opinion, and opinion go- verns practice. We have seen the tendency which the dis- tinction of mankind into clergy and laity had to heighten, in the minds of the populace, that is, more than, nine-tenths of the people, the reverence for the sacred order. The effect thus ac- tually produced, in ignorant ages, through the arrogance of the one side, and the superstition of the other, is sufficiently mani- fest, and perfectly astonishing.
