What reading level is A Prospect of Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At THE TRAVELLER. Ii At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down the monarch of a shed ; 190 Smiles by his chearful fire, and round surveys His childrens looks, that brighten at the blaze : While his lov'd partner boastful of her hoard. Displays the cleanly platter on the board; And haply too some pilgrim, thither led. With many a tale repays the nightly bed. Thus every good his native vi^ilds impart. Imprints the patriot passion on his heart. Dear is that shed to which his soul con...forms. And dear that hill which lifts him to the storms ; 200 And as a babe, when scaring sounds molest. Clings close and closer to the mother's breast ; So the loud torrent, and the whirlwind's roar. But bind him to his native mountains more. These are the charms to barren states assign'd ; Their wants are few, their wishes all confin'd. Yet let them only share the praises due. If few their wants, their pleasures are but few ; Since 12 THE TRAVELLER. Since every want, that stimulates the breast, Becomes a source of pleasure when redrest.
