What reading level is Elements of Moral Science volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 have now given a brief account of some of our more remarkable passions, but have not gone through the subject, and could easily have proceeded further, if there had been time for it. Hints have been occasonally thrown in, with respect to the government of particular passions: I subjoin some brief remarks of a more general nature.^ CHAP. II. VI. MORAL SCIENCE. 255 The government of the passions is a difficult work; but absolutely necessary, if we wish to be happy either in the next world, or i...n this. And as it is the more difficult the longer it is delayed, it is the part of prudence, as well as matter of duty, to be- gin it without delay. The difficulty of this duty may appear from the concurring testimony of wise men in every age; from the earnestness with which all moralists, particularly the inspired writers, re- commend it ; from what we may feel in ourselves of the unmanageableness of our passions, especially of those to which we are most inclined by nature or by habit ; and from what we must have observ- ed in the world around us, where we see men of good understanding, in other respects, enslaved to criminal inclinations, and led on to ruin, with their eyes open, by the strength of prevailing ap- petites.
