What reading level is The London Encyclopaedia Or Universal Dictionary of Science Art Literature a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wager of battle was certainly of more splendid pretensions, and was introduced at first with these stipulations. If the opposite parties were countrymen, they were to follow their na- tional customs, whatever they were ; if the ap- pellee were a foreigner, or of foreign descent, he might offer wager of battle, and on its being de- clined, purge himself by his own oath and that of his witnesses, according to the Norman law ; or, if a native of the country, he might have his choice of the tri...al by ordeal or by battle.
The solemn feelings and great religious sin- cerity with which our forefathers regarded com- bats of this description, cannot be more power- fully or more accurately depicted, than in the memorable combat-scene of Ivanhoe.
An inquisitio post mortem, dated the se- venth of Edward III. , speaks of the tenure of the manor appertaining to the royal champion as follows : ' That the manor of Scrivelsby is holden by grand sergeanty, to wit, by the service of find- ing, on the day of coronation, an armed knight, who shall prove by his body, if need be, that the king is true and rightful heir to the kingdom.
