What reading level is The Natural History of Society in the Barbarous And Civilized State; An Essay Towards Discovering the Origin And Course of Human Improvement 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not until a century after his time that we find gunpowder employed for artillery. The earliest au- thenticated account we have of these engines of war, des- cribes them as being employed by the king of Granada at the siege of Baza, A. D. 1342. Another century elapsed before they were brought to any thing like perfection* Guns and pistols were scarcely known before the sixteenth century : old habits made warriors prefer the ancient im- plements of war, and for a long time the use of fire-...arms was deemed equally sinful and disgraceful.
The revolution produced in war by the introduction of artillery and musketry, deprived battle of its worst horror — ^the indulgence of individual passion and personal feel- ing. From the time of the change, the trade of a soldier was no longer calculate to foster a sanguinary disposition, and to form habits of ferocious cruelty, and as we have al- ready said, war thus lost its demoralizing effect on sur- vivors. The new processes of war also accelerated the fall of feudalism, for it destroyed the importance of the armed knights, who had loi^ been regarded as the chief strength of every European army.
