To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the old distinctions of Saxon, and Mercian, and Northumbrian had been forever swept away by the coming of the Norman, and by the strong rule which he extended over all. And now, at last, in the fourteenth century, even the distinction of Norman and Saxon had passed away. There is not a word in Magna Charta which refers to any difference between the two races. Both are spoken of as English. The people of England are recognized as one people. The present generation of English speaking people ...has derived its ideas on this subject to a great extent from the romances of Sir Walter Scott ; but Mr. Freeman tells us that there is not a line in the charming novel of Ivanhoe which does not convey an erroneous impression with respect to the relations of the Saxons to the Normans. Notwithstanding the Conquest, the institutions of the land remained English. The local, judicial, and administrative forms of government in the fourteenth century were practically the same as in the sixteenth century.
