What reading level is The History of England, From the Accession of James Ii — volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the debates on the settling of the revenue, the distinction betweenWhigs and Tories does not appear to have been very clearly marked. Intruth, if there was any thing about which the two parties were agreed, it was the expediency of granting the customs to the Crown for a timenot exceeding four years. But there were other questions which calledforth the old animosity in all its strength. The Whigs were now in aminority, but a minority formidable in numbers, and more formidable inability. They... carried on the parliamentary war, not less acrimoniouslythan when they were a majority, but somewhat more artfully. They broughtforward several motions, such as no High Churchman could well support, yet such as no servant of William and Mary could well oppose. The Torywho voted for these motions would run a great risk of being pointed atas a turncoat by the sturdy Cavaliers of his county. The Tory who votedagainst those motions would run a great risk of being frowned upon atKensington.
It was apparently in pursuance of this policy that the Whigs laid on thetable of the House of Lords a bill declaring all the laws passed by thelate Parliament to be valid laws.
