What reading level is Six Thousand Years of History volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An intense feeling of dislike was developed in the minds of the country people against absentee nobles who lived in profligacy and extravagance, utterly neglectful of local duties, and heartlessly indifferent to the wants of the humbler classes. In the person of Louis XV the royalty of France had become utterly degraded; and poor, stupid, awkward, well-meaning Louis XVI pro- voked little but contempt from all beholders.
The system of taxation was grossly unjust and oppressive to the body of the... people. The nobles and clergy paid scarcely any taxes; they had a complete monopoly of almost every office of honor and wealth. In every province, and in all departments of the State, in every palace and royal domain, an army of triflers, 230 MODERN EUROPE holding sinecures created for their benefit, sucked the life-blood of the Nation, while the peasant and the artisan starved in hopeless wretchedness. The state of the people, indeed of the millions of workers for daily bread was disgraceful and shocking.
