What reading level is The Fifty Years Struggle of the Scottish Covenanters 1638 88 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Middleton, profligate as he was, and almost dead to ever}i;hing good and generous, was thunderstruck at the decision, magnanimity, and courage which the ministers had displayed. In his usual profone way, cursing and swearing, half pitying and half abusing them, he would often exclaim — " What ivill these mad fellows do ?" The secession of the four hundred was the moral Thermopylae in the histoiy of the Persecution. It was one of those defeats, in appearance, which are worth a thousand victori...es. At the period when it happened, it was the first shock to rouse the Scottish people from the stupor and dejection into which they seemed, and no wonder, to be sinking. From the moment of that act of self-devotion and self-sacrifice, the struggle for liberty, though long, chequered, and severe, was never hopeless, never doubtful. The ultimate issue was secure. And in all times of public difficulty and danger, it has been remembered, and ev^er will be remembered by our people, that in the winter of 1G62, four hundred of Scotland's hero-pastors gave up their all in this world at the behest of conscience, and in their country's cause.
