What reading level is The Meaning of Truth in History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those who have to consult almost daily otherwise great books dealing with the history of legal institutions encounter this fault in its worst form.
I will refer first to the shortcomings of a really remarkable Englishman. The case of Jeremy Bentham is notable. He ignored the light which history had to throw on the institutions about which he was writing, and his reputation thereby suffered. He rendered great services to the cause of law reform in England and elsewhere by the force of his destru...ctive criticism. The very abstractness of his methods added to the incisiveness of this criticism. But when he describes, and even where he brings an indictment that is obviously true, he is, generally speaking, utterly defective as an his- 13 torian. His unconsciousness of the genesis of the facts with which he is dealing is extraordinary in a man of such acuteness. He attributes the con- tinued existence of bad laws to the unscrupulous- ness of contemporary rulers and judges, as if they had individually devised them.
