What reading level is Lectures On Modern History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Caraffa was the most influential of the Theatines, thoughnot their founder; and he gave them their name, for he was Bishop ofChieti, in Latin Theate. He did more for another institution than forhis own, for it was he who brought forward the extraordinary man inwhom the spirit of the Catholic reaction is incorporated. At Venicehe found a group of young men, most of them Spaniards, all of themseekers after perfection, united otherwise in a somewhat vague designof visiting the Holy Land. Their lea...der, Ignatius Loyola, at thattime an enthusiast, later on a calculator and organiser of the firstclass, was the same man who helped to transplant to Rome theInquisition of his own country. As they waited in vain for a passage, Carana advised them that their true destination was Rome, where theywould be more useful with Protestants than with the heathen; and thus, by his intervention, the Society was founded which eclipsed his own.
Here at last the Catholics acquired a leader who was a man of originalgenius, and who grasped the whole, or nearly the whole, situation.
