What reading level is Montesquieu book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to Dubos, the Germans, few in number besides, had entered Gaul, not as conquerors, but as allies of the Romans ; their instal- lation in the country led to no fresh institutions. The chiefs of these bands received from the Romans the government of the territories they occupied, and they governed those territories according to Roman customs. The revolution which created France took place only later on ; it consisted in the transformation of offices into lordships ; the regime of the co...nquest was introduced into Gaul by the advent of feudalism, for the benefit of the lords.
Montesquieu prided himself on his Teutonic origin, but his spirit was essentially Roman. He seemed destined to reconcile the two conflicting theories. " Count Boulainvilliers and the Abbe Dubos, " says he, "have each produced a system, the one of which seems a conspiracy against the third estate, and the other a conspiracy against the aristocracy. " He wanted to stand between the rivals. His passions drew him towards Boulainvilliers, whom he treated as a gentilhomme, and estranged him from Dubos, whom, despite their academical confraternity, he regarded as little better than a parvenu and a college scullion.
