What reading level is The Early Hanoverians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
D. 17 15 English House of Lords, and converted it into a caste.
It is the glory of that House that by merit any one may rise to it, and that the son of a peer is a commoner; whilst a younger son, except of his own merit, will never be any- thing else. Moreover, the creation of peers is a safety- valve to the political machine. If the sovereign and the Commons be at one in favour of any measure, and the Lords differ from them, this power, not necessarily used, but held in reserve, would prevent ...a deadlock. On one famous occasion it had this effect. The difficulty in carrying the great Reform Bill would have been much greater if this unwise Peerage Bill had been law. Natu- rally the Lords liked it, for it increased the power of each one of them individually, as well as of their House collectively. It was equally natural that the Commons rejected the measure. Their action seems to have been almost entirely due to Walpole, who insisted that the Whigs in the Commons ought to oppose the measure, and who led the opposition with a most eloquent speech.
