What reading level is Studies in Ancient History: Comprising a Reprint of Primitive Marriage .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The family, as I have said, was originally prolonged in the children KINSnir IN ANCIENT GREECE. 197 of the daughters ; the sons' wives were in other houses, the continuers of other families. But now the daughters passed as wives into foreign houses, and the sons found representatives of their family in their own children.
The headship of the family could thus no longer descend from mother to daughter ; aiid it was lost to women, though, in virtue of their having once possessed it, they would lo...ng retain a high position, and exercise much of that authority amongst men which had been assigned to them by the earlier system. The males, therefore, took the upper hand, and among them the first place was naturally assigned to the eldest. The first in age and authority, the first to marry, and fre- quently a father before his brothers reached maturity, it came to be feigned that all the children were his, and in time he assumed many of the powers of a pater- familias. The headship of the family now devolved from brother to brother, and failing brothers, on the eldest son of the brotherhood.
