What reading level is Essays — First Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let him practise the minor virtues. How much of human life is lost in waiting ! let him not make his fellow-creatures wait. How many words and promises are promises of conversation ! let his be words of fate. When he sees a folded and sealed scrap of paper float round the globe in a pine ship, and come safe to the eye for which it was written, amidst a swarming population, let him likewise feel the admonition to integrate his being across all these distracting forces, and keep a slender human w...ord among the storms, distances, and accidents that drive us hither and thither, and, by persistency, make the paltry force of one man reappear to re- deem its pledge, after months and years, in the most distant climates. We must not try to write the laws of any one vir- tue, looking at that only. Human nature loves no contradictions, but is symmetrical. The prudence PRUDENCE. 215 which secures an outward well-being is not to be studied by one set of men, whilst heroism and holi- ness are studied by another, but they are reconcila- ble.
