What reading level is The Story of the Isle of Man: An Historical Reader for Manx Schools book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Penance was performed by standing clad in a white sheet, either at the cross on a market day, or in the churchyard during service time. Imprisonment was then a more dreadful punishment than it is now, because the prisoners were confined in a damp, dark, underground vault in Peel Castle, instead of in dry and airy rooms, as at the present day. The worst sins were punished by excommunication, that is, by being deprived of all the privileges of Church mem- bership. An excommiinicated person could ...not even be buried in a churchyard. These laws were put in force by courts presided over by the bishop, the arch- deacon and the vicars-general, and fell into disuse only about a hundred years ago. Such a system was suited to rude and primitive times, but when people became more civilized and independent, they would not submit to it, and so it gradually disappeared.
Puritanical Ideas, — About the time that these laws were written down the Manx people seem to have begun to pick up ideas similar to those of the Puritans in England, and, .a little later, we find them declaring that they would have no bishop and pay no tithes to the clergy.
