What reading level is Algernon Sidney a Review book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" These were, as Sidney said, "dark and slippery ways. " Jeffries remarked on precedents, to which Sidney replied : " My lord, I do not pretend to anything but what is law, and due to every man on English ground. I should be very sorry to do that which was hurtful. . . . Why, then, if you drive me upon it, I must plead. " Jeffries observes contemptuously : " I am sure there is no gentleman of the long robe would put any such thing into your head. " But Sidney, by pleading, for- mally acknowledg...ed the correctness of the indictment, and took upon himself his defence, which he was allowed a fortnight's time to prepare.
There was none of the dramatic interest that had attended the late Lord Russell's defence, aroused by his personal popularity, and still more by his wife's devo- tion. Yet when the trial began on November 2ist, there were present a good many of Sidney's sorrowing friends, who had come to see how he bore himself.
He was very self-possessed and collected. In the solemnity of the inevitable doom for himself, typical of that which he believed was falling on his country, the petty insults of Jeffries were almost unremarked.
