What reading level is Lord Beaconsfield; a Study book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gerard extols the monks ; they did not possess any private property, nor lay by, nor leave money by will ; neither were they absent for years, like the present landowners on the contrary, they never left the abbey ; they built and planted for posterity, founded libraries and schools, showed kindness to the poor of the neigh- bourhood. Gerard is a Catholic, but the question with him is not a religious one, it is one of right. The most conspicuous result of the Reformation, in his opinion, was th...at the monasteries were attacked, desolated, plundered to an unprecedented extent, "Sybil" 227 and the treasures of the monks were distributed among the plunderers so as to found, in a pecuniary sense, a new aristocracy. Morley agrees with Ge- rard, but what he most regrets in the destruction of the old abbeys is that with them the last English type of a society with a community of goods disap- peared ; instead of association, which is the essence of society, England has now nothing but isolation.
