What reading level is Six Thousand Years of History volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All things that can inspire the thoughts or delight the hours of leisure were for the peo- ple. Theirs were the portico and the school of philosophy — theirs the theater, the gardens, and the baths ; they were not, as in Sparta, the tools of the state — they were the state ! Lycurgus made machines, and Solon men.
In Sparta the machine was to be wound up by the tyranny of a fixed principle; it could not dine as it pleased — it was not permitted to seek its partner save by stealth and in the dark... ; its children were not its own — even itself had no property in self. Sparta incorporated under the name of freedom the most grievous and the most frivolous vexations of slavery. And therefore was it that Lacedse- mon flourished and decayed, bequeathing to fame men only noted for hardy valor, fanatical patriotism, and pro- found but dishonorable craft — attracting, indeed, the won- n6 ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL HISTORY der of the world, but advancing no claim to its gratitude, and contributing- no single addition to its intellectual stores.
