What reading level is The Great Historic Families of Scotland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is, unfortunately, only too well known to the whole country how grievously these hopes have been disappointed. The Duke, who is now forty years of age, continues to ' slug his life away ' in selfish and frivo- lous, if not vicious, amusements, utterly neglecting his duties both as a legislator and a landlord. He is a stranger in his ancestral halls, and his neighbours, his tenants and retainers, are not known to him even by sight. In no part of his Grace's conduct is his habitual disregard o...f the claims alike of his own dependents and of the public at large more conspicuous than in the mode in which he employs his power as the proprietor of a large portion of Arran.
That beautiful island is apparently regarded by him as a hunting- park or preserve for the exclusive use of himself and a few con- genial companions, from which visitors are, as far as possible, to be excluded, and where even the natives are allowed to remain only on sufferance. The Duke scarcely ever sets foot in Arran, or sees the face of a tenant or crofter there, except for a few weeks in the shooting season.
