What reading level is What is History? book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such an answer to the question, what is history? — such an historical ideal, has, like others, its own rewards and its own demands. It must not be supposed, in the first place, that such historical work is necessarily a thankless or an unappreciated task. More than fifty years ago a fellow-townsman of ours, Mr. Lea, took up the study of the history of mediaeval law and certain mediaeval and early modern institutions, especially those connected with the church. He is still at work in that field,... and at this very moment, in all probability, his fine gray head is bending over the proof sheets of the fourth and final volume of his "History of the Spanish Inquisition." He had from the beginning an intense desire to know, and an open mind. He felt no attraction to polemical and secondary discussions, but went direct to the raw material from which all historical knowledge must be constructed. He has had means that have enabled him to gather in his own library a great body of such sources of history as are published, and to have many manuscripts copied from the libraries of Europe ; he has applied keen mental powers and, infinite industry and perseverance to these materials, and has given to the world just what he has found.
