What reading level is The Massacre of St Bartholomew Preceded By a History of the Religious Wars in book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor was this condemnation a mere idle form, for ten days later Philip II. Issued a proclamation, ratifying the sentence and ordering it to be carried into in- stant execution without regard to sex, age, or condition. The eloquent historian of the Dutch republic has told us how the king was obeyed, and unveiled the perfidious designs of the Spanish cabinet. These were strongly suspected by the French Huguenots, who had not the opportunity we possess of reading the secret dispatches of Philip and... his ministers. But Conde and Coligny knew quite enough to make them sus- picious : they knew that if the Flemish Protestants were crushed, their turn would come next ; and they not only pre- vented the French government from assisting Alva, but by their attitude made the King of Spain unwilling to send the reinforcements to the Low Countries, which Alva so much needed to complete his crusade. Had they done no more than tins, they would have earned the eternal gratitude of all Protestantism. By paralyzing Alva at this moment the Re- formed religion on the Continent was saved.
