What reading level is The Scot in British North America volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They triumphed gloriously, and emerged from the fiery trial with that pride of nationality and a stern and haughty independence which are begotten of a victory achieved by a people's own strong arm. The Nemo me impune lacessit, and its terse Scottish rendering " Wha daur meddle wi' me ? " are mottoes which speak at once for the Thistle and the gallant race whose chosen em- blem it is. The religious troubles, which began at the dawn of the Reformation, the ruthless persecutions which culmin- ate...d in the brutalities of Lauderdale, Sharp and Claverhouse gave new vigour to the Scottish people and made them a nation in fact, as they had hitherto been in form. The commonalty then sprang at once into vigorous being. The doctrinal and other points of controversy which split the Kirk up into sects, quickened the national intellect, whilst the pain and anguish of the times chastened the hearts and purified the morals of the people. They were made, if not " perfect through suffering, " at least elevated, self-respecting, thoughtful and, above all, deeply saturated with an over- mastering sense of responsibility to God for the honest dis- charge of duty.
