What reading level is Origin And History of the Name of Smith With Biographes of All the Most Noted P book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The emperors of Japan and those of China after their death receive a new name.
ON THE CHANGING OF NAMES.
With us a woman changes her name when she marries; among the Caribs of the Antilles it was the custom for husband and wife to exchange names. In some formerly, and at the present day in Cape Verd Islands, a liberated slave takes the name of his old master; the adopted person substitutes the name of the person who adopts him for his own; the law allows that a donor or testator may require tha...t his name should be taken by the person benefited.
In 1568 Philip enacted a law that the Moors who lived in Spain should abandon the use of their peculiar idiom, and of their national names and sur- names, and substitute in their stead Spanish idioms and Spanish names. He hoped to make new men of them, to denationalize them, if we may use the term, and to merge them into his own people. He had a keen appreciation of the value of proper names, but like all despotic sovereigns, he was blind to the in- fluence of time, which can alone produce the gradual fusion of a conquering with a conquered people, more especially when differences in religion add their over- whelming weight to one side of the balance.
