What reading level is Studies in Historical Method book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The story thus becomes fixed and sacred, so that it may be preserved in its pure and original form. But, alas !
that original was not true ; and now, confirmed by the faith of gen- erations, it is an almost impossible task to change, alter, or add in behalf of what may prove to be the truth. How, then, does the truth arrive ? Through war, trade, and those endless questions of the critical mind, — why and how. The sacred quiet of the tem- ple is broken by conquest and the rude irruption of the u...nbeliev- ing heathen. Once broken, the clashing of national myths and legends arouses scepticism, the mother of truth, and history be- comes broader in its outlook and truer to its records. The trader goes afield with his wares and his traditions. He finds other tra- ditions, upheld with as sacred energy as his own, perhaps more reasonable on their face; he doubts, he modifies, he questions his facts, and so comes to have a sense of evidence which enables him to distinguish between the false and the true.
