What reading level is The History of Civilization book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, the general assembly seldom con- vened, and the political power exercised through it gradu- ally declined. The chiefs became more and more isolated.
Their houses became castles. Little villages formed them- selves around them, no longer peopled with freemen, who were their equals, but with laborers, who were attached to their lands.
Another social fact should here also be adverted to.
The chiefs, in their settlements, did not choose to be soli- tary. Their mode of life was idle, and that... could ill endure isolation. Besides, the sources of barbaric pleasure, the gaming, chase, and banqueting, were all social in their character. Hence, many of the warriors who had followed them, still continued to live around them, to be fed at their tables, to be their associates, without possessing individually, any property. This might, also, in the then state of things, have been rendered necessary; for, had they dispersed themselves over a large territory, and at- tended solely to their agricultural or other industrial pursuits, their safety, in the midst of the original popula- tion, might have been endangered.
