What reading level is The British Museum Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

K. Fortescue, who prepared the official catalogue of the Thomason collection, says, that as this particular volume consists mainly of news- papers, sermons and satirical pamphlets, " it may be assumed that the tract Charles I. Wished to see was either The Reasons of the Lords and Commons, why they cannot agree to the alteration and Addition ii 114 THE BRITISH MUSEUM LIBRARY in the Articles of Cessation offered by His Majesty. With His Majestie's gratious answer thereunto. April 4, 1643, or, A D...eclaration concerning the present Treaty of Peace between His Majesty and Parliament, April 7, 1643. " This, then, is the authentic version of the story of Charles I. 's use of the Thomason collection. As for the tales of the travels into Surrey and Essex for fear of confiscation by the Protector's minions, it is difficult to know how much credence to give them. It would be strange if they were pure fabrications, yet no obvious reason appears why such a collection should have excited Cromwell's animosity ; it was quite impartially made, without any political bias, and aimed only at completeness.
