What reading level is The Early History of the English Woollen Industry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
a strong government had again been established, the assize was vigorously enforced, and it must soon have been found expedient to appoint an officer for that special purpose. Towards the end of the reign of Edward I. Perot le Tailleur who had <*the aulnage of cloth in the fairs of our realm" was removed for some de- fault in his accounts, and in 1298 the king commit- ted to Peter of Edelmeton the custody of aulnage and of the assize of cloth, both English and foreign, sold throughout England.^ This is the earliest docu- mentary evidence of an office which existed, until the reign of William III., with an importance for a time increasing and afterwards steadily diminishing. The long history of the changes in the regulations as to width and length, complicated as it is by the appearance of new materials and qualities, connot be followed here. Yet a very significant change of policy in 1353 cannot be passed over. In a statute of that year it was enacted that, whereas foreign merchants are deterred from coming to England be- cause they forfeit their cloth *^if it be not of assize," henceforth cloth shall not be forfeited even if it be not of the due size.
