What reading level is Essays: Moral, Political, And Literary book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This also must be confessed, that the most durable, as well as justest fame, has been acquired by the easy philosophy : and that abstract reasoners seem hitherto to have enjoyed only a momentary reputation, from the caprice or ignorance of their own age, but have not been able to support their renown with more equitable posterity. It is easy for a profound philosopher to commit a mistake in his subtile reasonings ; and one mistake is the necessary parent of another, while he pushes on his conse...quences, and is not deterred from embracing any con- clusion, by its unusual appearance, or its contradiction to popular opinion. But a philosopher, who purposes only to represent the common sense of mankind in more beautiful and more engaging colours, if by accident he falls into error, goes no farther ; but renewing his appeal to common sense, and the natural sentiments of the mind, returns into the right path, and secures himself from any dangerous illusions. The fame of Cicero flourishes at present : but that of Aristotle is utterly decayed.
