What reading level is English Prose; Selections, With Critical Introductions By Various Writers And General Introductions to Each Period book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Restoration brought to him the outward semblance of reward, but with it a respon- sibility that weighed heavily upon him, as he saw the fatal danger which the corruption of the time, and the laxity of Charles II., were storing up for the future. For seven years he was able to maintain himself against a strange coalition, which banded against him what was most corrupt in the Court, and most progressive in the nation ; and when he fell, it was after he had given his labour, his strength, and ...his peace to establish in his country his own ideal of orderly and constitutional government, which he saw to be threatened chiefly by the acts of those to- whom his loyalty was ungrudgingly pledged. It is an easy criticism to urge against Clarendon that he was incapable of appreciating the new forces that were at work in English history.
But the same criticism may always be urged against one who has formed a definite ideal, and will not swerve from it ; and it remains none -the less true that there is scarcely any prime minister of England who left upon her so firm an impress of his own personality — an impress which remained fresh to a period within living memory, and traces of which are not wanting even now.
