What reading level is The Progress of Continental Law in the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the very morrow of codification we find proof of this state of mind in the explanations made by Bigot de Preameneu to the Legislature on August 22, 1807, of the draft which was to become the law of September 3, 1807. Speaking on the proposal to change the title of Civil Code to Code Napoleon, he said : " This is a com- plete work ; it is, if I may be allowed to use the expression, a sort of Holy Ark, and for it we will set for neighboring nations the ex- ample of a religious respect. " x Nap...oleon himself felt this respect for the Code. We know his anger when the first commentary appeared. Even in exile, he regarded his legislative achievement as a hundred times more enduring than his military conquests. We know the celebrated remark attributed to him : " My glory is not to have won forty battles : Waterloo will destroy the memory of as many victories . . . , but what nothing will destroy, what will live eternally, is my ("nil Code. " 2 This respect for the legal text also affected the teaching of law.
