What reading level is Life in Early Britain Being An Account of the Early Inhabitants of This Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Roman commanders or their descendants might be represented by Aurelius Ambrosius and by the heroic Arthur, or Artorius as Mr. Coote has so acutely identified the name ; but these and other chiefs, even if they themselves lived up in thought and aspiration to the traditions of their ancestry, and could think of and wish for a British military force, never succeeded in commanding anything better than bodies of armed Celtic tribesmen, whose ideas and hopes did not extend beyond the narrow limits o...f tribal society. If, then, the English conquerors of the British met men organised like themselves into tribal groups ; and if we remember that nearly four hundred years before Csesar and Plautus and Agricola had met the ancestors of those self-same tribal groups, is not the conclusion irresistible that the character of the Roman occupation was that of a military holding only, and not a colonisation ? Is it not further to be concluded that its influences did not set loose to any appreciable degree the social forces of a higher civilisation upon an intelligent though barbarous people ?
