What reading level is Essays On History Biography Geography Engineering Etc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have given our feeble and unprofessional aid in corrobora- tion of Mr. Haydon's exhortations, because we think with him that severe anatomical study, whether essential or not to the Greeks, is the true corrective for the prevalent vices of English art. We have little fear of opposite extremes, of pedantic dis- plays of muscles, and attitudes forced and invented for that dis- play. Faults of this land are more likely to be generated by imitating imitations, by the practice of servile copies, ...which Mr. Haydon justly deprecates, than by going to the real sources of that power which, like all things acquired by much labour, will sometimes tempt its possessor as it tempted M. Angelo to its too ostentatious display.
There are few sections of Mr. Haydon's work from which we might not extract some sound and effective passage. From some we might select subjects of friendly controversy ; but having fallen on nothing which appears to us deadly heresy or dangerous error, we prefer to commend the volume to all who take an interest in its subject, with the assurance that it will repay their study of it.
