What reading level is Historical Sketches And Reviews First Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cardinal de Richelieu imprisoned at Vincennes the Abbe de St. Cyr, one of Jansenius's warmest supporters and most intimate friend, and would listen to no petitions for his release, declaring that " had Luther or Calvin been confined in a similar place of safety, many misfortunes and much bloodshed would have been saved both to Germany and to France. " This policy was also adopted during the administration of Mazarin, and through Louis XIV's reign. Mr. Marne again improves the occasion by giving... us a long sermon on the necessity of coercion in matters of religion; con- tending that "it is no reason against coercion that it has not always succeeded in putting down those who rebel against the established religion of the country, any more than it is a reason against the punishment of criminals that crime is not entirely put down by the terror of the law. " This is another bad argument. The heretic may enjoy his opinions without injuring society, if he keeps them to himself; whereas the criminal cannot carry on his evil practices without disturbing the peace of society, and ought therefore to have the fear of some severe punishment before his eyes, to deter him from continuing in his evil courses.
