What reading level is Lectures On the History of France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
285 Languedoo. The Burgondian soldiers were sent to live at free quarters among them. All the imposts so recently abol- ished were reimposed by the mere authority of the king. All the pledges given by him, or in his name, were set aside as so many unmeaning words. The reaction was complete ; and no less than thirty years elapsed before France ever again wit- nessed the convention of the States-General of the realm.
In that long interval money was sometimes raised for the public service by simpl...e edicts of the crown, but, more fre- quently, the concurrence of some of the constituted bodies of the state wa^ solicited to sanction or countenance this usurped authority. On one occasion the clergy and the University of Paris. were thus convened to give their assent to the imposition of a tax. At another, the deputies of particular cities were brought together for the same purpose. But neither the bat- tle of Rosbecque, nor the executions and terrors which had fol- lowed it, nor the isolated position of the clergy, nor the defense- less state of the Bourgeoise, could repress that daring spirit which, in the close of the fourteenth and in the beginning of the fifteenth century, had so deeply possessed the national mind of France.
