What reading level is The Life And Times of Saint Cyprian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The exigency, then, arising from the heterodoxy of the' present Emperor, was met by transferring one of his privileges, by an internal arrangement of the Church, to the pi-esent Bishop of Rome. The whole matter was an expedient, and fell to the ground, both according to the letter and to the spirit of the Canons in question, when the present necessity was passed.
But although that just stated is the nearest approach towards giving ^(P Rome a power of hearing appeals, yet it is not the nearest a
...pproach to the like power given to another Church : the nearest approach to the power now claimed by Rome that was ever given to any Church, was given by the Fathers assembled at Chalcedon to the See of Constanti- nople. See Canon ix. Of that Council.
In the whole matter of this note, consult Johnson's Vade Mecum ; and see also Palmer's Treatise on the Church of Christ, part ii. Ch. 2, 150 Life and Times of St Cyprian.
and elsewhere ; indeed he tells us, that by the very fact of the ordination of Fortunatus, the faction which adhered to him was diminished almost to nothing, so that they could scarce number among their adherents, lay or cleric, so many as had joined in their condemnation : ^ for this shameless act opened the eyes of all who were hitherto deceived by the pretensions of that party, and by the hope of being readmitted into the Church by their means, the possibility of which was now pre- cluded.
