What reading level is Shaftesbury the First Earl book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The charge is almost certainly unjust ; but the wind came, and it proved to be the blindest and most furious of all the popular tempests that ever swept over England. On September 26, 1678, a squat, misshapen man, bull-necked and bandy-legged, with villainous low forehead, avenged by so monstrous a length of chin that his wide-slit mouth bisected his purple face, ap- peared in the court of a London magistrate. Sir Edmundbury Godfrey, and proceeded to unfold on oath a story of so startling and t...errible a nature, that he was summoned to appear the next day and recite it to the Privy Council. Next day accordingly Dr. Titus Oates^s Startling Story 127 Gates, for such was the strange deponent's style and title, appeared in due course before the Privy Council and repeated the statement he had made to the magis- trate. This, in brief, was to the effect that a widespread plot had been concocted by the Jesuits for the establish- ment of the Roman Catholic faith in the three kingdoms at whatever cost of rebellion and bloodshed ; that plots were on foot to assassinate the King, and even the Duke of York if he refused to join in the scheme for putting his brother Charles out of the way ; that in particular a bribe of 15, 000Z.
