What reading level is Elements of Elocution in Which the Principles of Reading And Speaking Are Inves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, in compliance with the rhythmus, or tune of the verse, we were to lay a stress on the last syllable of eloquence, and on the particle the in the first of these verses, scarcely any thing can be conceived more disgusting to a good judge of reading.
A bad fault opposite to this is very common among bad readers ; and that is, hurrying over the two last syllables of such words so as to reduce the pronuncia- tion to prose : for it must be carefully noted, that the beauty of reading verse depends... exceedingly upon the tune in which we pronounce it. The unaccented syllables, though less forcible, ought to have the same time as those that are accented ; a regular march, an agreeable movement, ought to reign through the whole.
This rule, however, with respect to the place of the accent, admits of some few exceptions. Milton has sometimes placed words so unfavourably for pronunciation in the common way, that the ear would be more disgusted with the harshness of the verse, if the right accent were preserved, than with a wrong accent which preserves the harmony of the verse : for it is not merely reducing a line to prose if the sense requires it, which is a capital fault in read- ing poetry, but reducing it to very harsh and disagree- able prose.
