What reading level is Address Delivered Before the Philological Institute On the Evening of the Eighth Anniversary in the Chapel of the Western University of Pennsylvania book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Extrava- gance and dissipation sat enthroned in British purple, and the more immediate receptacles of the royal favor, were the gallant and the gay, instead of the wise and the learned. Proceed- ing from the shades of adversity, where they had been permitted to remain during the success of Cromwell's " Drum Ecclesiastic," holding life by a most precarious tenm-e, the transition was too sudden, and prosperity like the whirlpool, swallowed them up. Misfortune, which case-hardens most men, and ena...bles them to withstand the shock of sudden advance- ment, had no effect upon them. They pursued the phantom pleasure only, with the same un- tiring energy, and held to her with the same unrelenting tenacity that the lion hearted Rich- ard did, in pursuit of glory and the Holy Land.
In the midst of this circle of gay courtiers, "these glasses of fashion and moulds of form," was to be seen the corpulent body, and broad brimmed hat of William Penn, not participa- ting in the dissipations of the Court, but endea- 10 vouring to advance the cause of religion and of science, by seeking the favor of his Sovereign.
