What reading level is Holland And Its People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The history of Utrecht is closely entwined with that of its cathedral, which is, perhaps, of all the churches in Holland, the one that has seen the strangest vicissitudes. It was founded, towards 720, by a bishop of Utrecht ; re- built from floor to roof towards the middle of the thir- teenth century by another bishop; in 1674, on the 1st of August, a hurricane carried off completely one great nave 274 HOLLAND, which has never been rebuilt ; the iconoclasts of the six- teenth century devastated... it; it was restored to Catholic worship by the French in the following century; the Protestant faith was re established in it by the Dutch after the invasion of Louis XIV. ; and finally, its statues, its altars, and its crosses have been carried off and re- placed, raised and ruined, venerated and abused, by every change of the wind of opinion. It was certainly at one time one of the largest and finest of the Dutch churches ; now it is bare and mutilated, and encumbered in great part with benches, which give it the ' look of a chamber of deputies.
