What reading level is Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless, bumpkin sparrow has his world of air to range in ; his free loves ; and for his nest his ivied wall or hawthorn bush. These, say the worst, are a happy set-off even against a gilt-wired cage ; sand like diamond dust ; unfailing seed, and sugar from even the sweeter lips of lady mistress. Powder and small shot may come upon the sparrow like apoplexy upon an alderman, with the unbolted morsel in its gullet ; yet, consider — hath the canary no danger to encounter ? Doth not prosperit...y keep a cat ? Well, this idle gossip has brought us within a short distance of Reculvers. Here — so goes the hoary legend — Augustine impressed the first Christian foot upon the English shore, sent hither by good Pope Gregory ; no less good that, if the same legend be true, he had a subtle sense of a joke. Christianity, unless historians say what is not, owes some- what of its introduction into heathen England to a pun. The story is so old that there is not a schoolmaster's dog throughout merry Britain that could not bark it.
