What reading level is The History of Italy From the Abdication of Napoleon I volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the guidance if not under the pontificate of Hildebrand, was also enacted the decree which com- manded the elections of bishops to be made by the chapters. All these decrees were the work of the same master mind ; so was that which enforced the celi- bacy of the clergy. They have been represented as forming one deep plan on the part of their framer, to lay the foundation of a priestly rule over all orders of men. It is not, however, by plans of human contri- vance that institutions which ...influence the destinies of mankind are formed. The grandest schemes of human ambition generally perish in their conception. In the plans by which the great designs of Providence are carried out, the men who appear to be the most active agents in their completion, are but unconscious instru- ments working out events which they have no power to control. In the fierce contest which followed the movements of the zealous monk, attention has been principally directed to the law against investiture, but of far deeper importance and far more lasting consequence was that which accomplished the great revolution of the exclusion of the whole body of the Christian people from that voice in the election of bishops which from the Apostolic age had been their right.
