What reading level is Democracy And Other Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Much later, but still long ago, I read the " Friend, " the " Biographia Literaria, " and other prose works of Coleridge. In what may* be given me to say I shall be obliged to trust chiefly to a memory which at my time of life is gradually becoming one of her own reminiscences, and is forced to com pound as best she may with her inexorable creditor Oblivion. But perhaps she will serve me all the better for the matter in hand, for what is proper here is at most a rapid generalization rather than ...a demon stration in detail of his claims to grateful remembrance. I shall naturally trust my self to judge him by his literary rather than by his metaphysical achievement. In the lat ter region I cannot help being reminded of the partiality he so often betrays for clouds, and see him, to use his own words, " making the shifting clouds seem what you please, " or "a traveller go from mount to mount through cloudland, gorgeous land. " Or sometimes I think of him as an alchemist in search of the philosopher s stone, and strip ping the lead, not only from his own roof, but from that of the parish church itself, to quench the fiery thirst of his alembic.
