What reading level is The Living Past a Sketch of Western Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rome is in the middle of the west coast of Italy, in a fairly fertile plain and on the banks of a navigable river, some fifteen miles away from the sea. Every point carried weight. Their soil, not too fertile to deprive them of motives for expansion, was The Romans 93 fertile enough to repay cultivation and to leave some- thing over for foreign trade. For commerce the settle- ment was specially well placed. It was defensible, in a central position, and not on the sea though easily accessible fr...om it. Being in the middle of the peninsula, they had the best possible chance of stretching across it, of barring north from south and ultimately of gaining command of the whole. Above all, while early in touch with the neighbouring Greeks, their own trend was as markedly to the west as the Greeks' was eastward. It was, as we shall see, their western expansion, giving them, at the first great crisis in their history, Spain, and at the second, Gaul, which built up the empire and enabled them to bring together the whole Mediterranean world.
