To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bachelor, in short, was only now entitled to say that he was a " youth in arts." It was only later that the word, through a mistaken etymology, became baccalaureus, and was supposed to have connection with the laurel-berry, and graduation was called laureation. In chivalry the word "bachelor" was also used, but not in the same sense.* The word " bachalarius " was adopted by Bologna only in the course of the thirteenth century. In 1297 ♦ "An honorary distinction was made," says Ilallam (cap.... ix. part ii.)> ** between knights-bannerets and bachelors. The former were the richest and best accompanied. No man could be a banneret unless he possessed a certain estate, and could bring a certain number of lances into the field." But a knight-bachelor might hold higher military command under the Crown than a knight-banneret. It is unnecessary to point out that "bachelor" is used in our own early literature to denote a young man simply, without reference to his being married. It was generally used in the Middle Ages, i,e, baccalarius and baccalaria^ to denote young persons above eighteen years of age serving under a master.
