To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A question we naturally ask is, How did a Scottish boy of fourteen make him- self understood in a foreign University? The answer is, that almost all the teachers and students spoke in Latin, not only during class hours but even when they were at play. But in the best schools in Scotland boys were taught to speak in Latin, so that Buchanan would have little difficulty in understanding his teachers and making himself understood. Without Latin in those days, it is to be remem- bered, nothing could... be learned, and for the simple reason that the best books on all subjects were written in Latin. We are not surprised, therefore, that during the two years he now spent at the Univer- GOES TO PARIS 27 sity of Paris he was taught Httle else but Latin. Almost all his time, he says him- self, was spent in writing verses in Latin, whether he liked it or not. We know, however, that he must have liked it, as it was by his skill in composing Latin poetry that he afterwards became so famous both in his own and other coun- tries.
