What reading level is The History of Scotland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS. 361 She sang agreeably, and her lily-white hand touched the ohaptbb lute with skill. Ronsard, the French poet, had been her ^^ teacher of poetry, and she had a facility in throwing off verses according to the inflated and fantastic style then fashionable in France. That she was beautiful all ac- counts agree. But then her numerous portraits differ so much from each other that it is impossible to say which of them, or whether any one of them all, is to be relied on as a lik...eness.
The very first Sabbath after her arrival in Scotland, Mary had mass performed in the Chapel of Holyrood. A people who had scarce had time to breathe freely since they were in death-grips with the bloody tyranny of Popery, were alarmed to see such open encouragement given to the dreaded and detested thing in the Palace of the Sovereign. John Knox spoke of it from the pulpit, and his words, to be sure, were plain and strong. As he said himself, he had " learned to call wickedness by its own name, a fig a fig, and a spade a spade.
