What reading level is The English Historical Review book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All authority too is centred in him* There can be no such division of power as that supposed to exist between king, lords, and commons, else the state becomes a house divided against itself. Vox poptdi is there not merely vox Dei^ but becomes the guarantee of the sovereign's divine right ; while the sovereign, being in facto the omljodiment of all the people, is the true and only representative of God's person.
He is henceforth absolute. He cannot be censured without injus- tice. They that are ...subjects to a monarch cannot without his leave cast off monarchy. He is at once judge and lawgiver, dictator and pope, and must be obeyed in all his commands, though his commands were that his people should curse God and die.
In the tone of one thus arguing for an absolute monarchy we seem to hear something of the world- weariness of one crying out in time of trouble, that breaks forth so painfully in Dante's ' De Monarchia.' In Dante, as in Hobbes, we trace the ^uin of princi- palities; we have the same longing for peace, born of the same weariness of strife and willing to purchase rest at the same cost.
