What reading level is The Independence of the Universities And Colleges of Oxford And Cambridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The belief is a delusion, but the fact is so. Hence he upholds the arbitrary and unrestrained power of Parliament, conceiving it to be in part his own, 28 and trusting implicitly to the purity and excellence of his own will, for a right exercise of this unlimited authority. But no matter how excellent his theory, he is visited with strange misgivings and suspicions. He is deluded, but his delusion does not make him insensible to the danger of trusting an absolute despotic authority in any hands... what- soever, even the most virtuous and excellent. He sees the necessity of keeping over such a power a strict and rigid control, and with perfect consistency and unanswerable conclusiveness of argument, maintains the absolute neces- sity of binding his governors, whom he miscalls his repre- sentatives, by absolute pledges of obedience to his will. He asserts the right of universal suffrage, and the neces- sity for annual, or even shorter parliaments ; and insists upon the removal of all irresponsible parts of the govern- ment, such as the monarchy and peerage, as being abso- lutely indispensable for the security of the people.
