What reading level is A First Gallery of Literary Portraits book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas Carlyle, in his first charac- ter as translator and illustrator of the German poetic sages. Not that he did it by his single arm: he was anticipated by Coleridge, and strongly backed, if not preceded, by De Quincey, Dr Beddoes, Moir, and others; but notwithstanding that German litei'ature is 86 THOMAS CARLYLE, no longer a sealed book, 1)iit an open fountain, and that German intellect has been at length fairly appreciated among us, we be- lieve to be mainly owing to his persevering and un...daunted efforts. And to this end, his very eiTors, and exaggerations, and over-esti- mates, and too obvious emulation of some of the faults of his fa- vourites, have contributed.
Carlyle is a Scottish German : he has grafted on a strong original stock of Scottish earnestness, simplicity, shrewdness, and humoux*, much of the mysticism, exaggeration, and eccentricity of his adopted country. Even though he had never read a page of the Teutonic grammar, he would have been distinguished as a man of original powers, profound sincerity, and indomitable per- severance.
