What reading level is Edward Young's "conjectures On Original Composition" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But as good books are the medicine of the mind, if we should dethrone these authors and consider them not in their royal, but their medicinal capacity, might it not then be said — that Addison prescribed a wholesome and pleasant regimen which was universally relished and did much good; — that Pope preferred a purgative of satire which, though wholesome, was too painful in its operation — and that Swift insisted on a large dose of ipecacuanha, which, though readily swallowed from the fame of the... physician, yet, if the patient had any delicacy of taste, he threw up the remedy instead of the disease?
Addison wrote little in verse, much in sweet, elegant, Virgilian prose; so let me call it, since Longinus calls Herodotus most Homeric, and Thucydides is said to have formed his style on Pindar. Addison's compositions are built with the finest materials, in the taste of the ancients, and (to speak his own language) on truly classic ground; and though they are the delight of the present age, yet am I persuaded that they will receive more justice from posterity.
