What reading level is The Reformation in France From the Dawn of Reform to the Revocation of the Edic book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not so the religious bigots. Suddenly the bells were heard ringing from church to church. It was the tocsin, that appeal to popular fury so common in the free cities of Flanders and Italy. The massacre re-opened with a new and peculiar atrocity. Neighbours killed neigh- bours, women with child were ripped open, fathers were slaughtered with their little ones hanging to their knees, infants were seized by the neck and thrown like blind kittens into the river ; the Seine, in fact, was the grand r...eceptacle for the dead. The air was full of frightful cries, sudden shrieks, pistol shots, bursting of doors, the howling of the mob as they dragged a corpse to the river.
This was the fate of the illustrious Ramus, who was only put to death on the third day of the massacre, the 26th of August. Paid assassins forced the College of Prasles, and found him in his study on the fifth floor. They hardly allowed him a moment of prayer before they fired on him and ran him through with a sword. Then they threw him out of window into the court below, and dragged the body by a cord to the river.
