What reading level is The Life of Judge Jeffreys book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nothing could be liker hell than all those parts, nothing so like the devil as he. Caldrons hissing, carcases boiling, pitch and tar sparkling and glowing, blood and limbs boiling, and tearing, and mangling ; and he, the great director of all, and, in a word, discharging his place who sent him, the best deserving to be the late King's Chief Justice there, and Chancellor after, of any man that breathed since Cain or Judas." Such is the spectacle presented to posterity by the author of the Bloody... Assizes, the book on which almost entirely rests Jeffreys' claim to exceptional disgrace. Into the truth of the latter part of his description it is needless to en- quire. A considerable quantity of executions, carried out according to the letter of the usual sentence in cases of high treason, was not likely to improve the aspect of the neighbouring country, more especially as it was the custom to hang people in their own particular part of the country, where the example of their swinging bodies or mouldering quarters might appeal as an awful example to their awe- stricken friends.
