What reading level is Epochs And Episodes of History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the enforced abandonment of his emigration scheme, Hampden withdrew again, for a time, into the background ; for never was there a man less likely to put himself forward, except where duty demanded it. But the years 1638 and 1639 were full of events fraught with tremendous consequences to the Government of Charles and his Ministers, and to the future destiny of England. The disaffection of the Puritans in England was increased by the publi- cation of the " Book of Sports ; " which, by off...icially permitting, or rather enjoining, amusements on Sundays, deeply offended the feelings and opinions of that influential sect. Then came the ill-advised attempt to enforce the use of the Liturgy in Scotland ; and Clarendon tells how, " on the Sunday morning appointed for the work," when the Dean began to read the service in the church of St. Giles, Edinburgh, "a shower of stones and sticks and cudgels" came flying at that functionary's head ; and how the rioters, on being turned out of the church, the doors of which were shut, "continued their barbarous noise" in the churchyard, breaking the windows, and endeavouring to force the doors, " so that it was not possible for any to follow their devotions." The signing of the Covenant, the rebellion in Scotland, and the esta- blishment there of a Provisional Govern- ment, were the next steps ; and the army of Charles proved utterly unable to quell the formidable rising.
