What reading level is A History of Scotland for the Young book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There had been war between England and Scotland for a number of years. It had almost crushed the weaker country, it had poured out blood like water, it had wasted the substance and de- stroyed the homes of the Scots, it had killed the king and put his heiress in deadly peril. How it was that during all that time the Scots had never been able to make any of those retaliations, which, at the very weakest points of history, they had hitherto accom- plished, it is difficult to say ; probably becaus...e they had no strong central authority, and were distracted by the fact that so many of their natural leaders were under the influence of Henry and more or less bound to' him: and also because a new and overwhelming interest, the Reformation, had begun to spring up in Scotland, which, no doubt, led men's thoughts aside in other FOR THE YOUNG 151 channels, and which I shall presently tell you of. Add to these the horror of those savage expeditions which you have just heard of, which were not fight- ing but massacre and bloodshed.
