What reading level is The Papacy And Modern Times a Political Sketch 1303 1870 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The once invincible chief took ser- vice under his father-in-law, the King of Navarre, and though he died bravely, came to an inglorious end. His epic or epitaph we may consider was written by Machiavelli in the "Prince, " which raises political science "beyond good and evil, " to a height of wis- dom or infamy.
Julius II. Had spent his storm-tost days chiefly in the service of France, to whose martial enterprising genius he felt allied. We might describe him shortly as the Antipope of Avignon ...(where his escutcheons and monuments remain) while Alexander VI. Anathematized him at Rome. He made an indifferent friar, a disedifying bishop, and a great Pope. His unvarnished tongue, rough Genoese vigour, contempt for literary grim- aces, and large designs, reveal the soldier- pontiff, whom Italy should have taken for its king. He was neither honest nor virtuous; but he knew how to rule better than his brutal cousin, Girolamo Riario; and unlike Alex- POMP AND DECAY 95 ander VI. He had no family ambition.
