What reading level is Bits of Blarney book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Then, for the first time for over a hundred years, Catholics literally ''spoke out." Their daring appeared to draw strength for their despair. What was called "the Catholic Committee" was formed, and this, strongly against O'Connell's advice, violated the law by assuming a representative character. Lord Killeen (eldest son of the Earl of Fingal, a Catholic peer), and some others of the leaders, were prosecuted by the Government. They were defended by O'Con- nell, and Ireland then witnessed the ...almost unpre- cedented circumstance of Catholic agitators being acquitted by a Protestant jury in Dublin.
The Catholic Committee, however, became alarmed, and broke up. Then was formed the Catholic Board, at which it was a matter of dispute whether Eman- cipation might not be purchased by allowing the Crown to pay the Catholic clergy, and giving the head of the Church of England a veto on the ap- pointment of Catholic bishops in Ireland. Feeble and vacillating, the greater portion of the Catholic nobility held aloof from the struggle, in which O' Conn ell took the popular side.
