What reading level is Essays And Phantasies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
in what we call charities as if they were full of the virtue. Yet immediately we analyse any charitable action of our own, however pure it may have been from common alliage of ostentation and subtle self-interest, we find that it was much less sympathetic than it at first appeared. It was not the result of a feeli7ig with its object ; but was rather the result of a process strictly analogous to the process used in solving an algebraic equation, almost as purely intellectual and non-cordial; dea...ling not with the very things in question, but with familiar abstract symbols that, until the solution is obtained, are scarcely in our thought connected, much less are identified, with those things themselves. Thus we see a blind beggar, and pity him, and give him alms. Does our pity deserve to be called sympathy? Can we, without the grossest exaggeration, pretend that \NQfeel ivith him the miseries of his blindness? Assuredly not ; but we have heard and read much of these miseries, and, therefore, blindness represents to us (almost as abstractedly as x and y represent the ho7'ses and 7}iiles or whatever else may be the subject-matter of an algebraic problem) inability for common work, privation of common pleasures and comforts ; and, so, just claims on our pity and help.
