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


Pve seen, in death's dark palace laid, The ruins of a beauteous maid, Cadaverous and pale ! That maiden who, While life remain'd, O'er rival charms in triumph reign'd The mistress of the vale.
I've seen, where dungeon damps abide, A youth, admir'd in manhood's pride, At what time was king Charles executed ? How old was he then ? How long had he reigned ?
GUN-POWDER TREASON. 219 In morbid fancy r%ve ; He, who, in reason's happier day, Was virtuous, witty, nobly gay, Learn'd, generous, and brave.
...
Nor dome, nor tower, in twilight shade, Nor hero fallen, nor beauteous maid, To ruin all consign'd Can with such pathos touch my breast, As (on the maniac's form impress'd) The ruins of the MIND !
GUN-POWDER TREASON.
1. THE Roman catholics had expected great favor and in- dulgence on the accession of James I. , both as a descendant of Mary, a rigid catholic, and also as having shown some partiality to that religion in his youth. But they soon dis- covered their mistake ; and were at once surprised and en- raged to find James, on all occasions, express his resolution of strictly executing the laws enacted against them, and of persevering in the conduct of his predecessor.
