What reading level is Essays On Style, Rhetoric, And Language book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now this was a base pursuit, though somewhat relieved by the closing example of Demosthenes, who, amidst much frailty, had .a generous nature; and he showed it chiefly by his death, and in his lifetime, to use Milton's words, 1 by uttering many times " odious truth," which, with noble courage, he compelled the mob to hear. But one man could not redeem a national dishonour. It was such, and such it was felt to be. Men, therefore, of elevated natures, and men of gentle pacific natures, equally re...volted from a trade of lies, as regarded the audience, and of strife, as regarded the competitors. There remained the one other pursuit of scenical poetry; and it hardly needs to be said what crowding there was amongst all the energetic minds of Athens into one or other of these pursuits: the one for the unworldly and idealising, the other for the coarsely ambi- tious. These, therefore, became the two quasi professions of Athens, and at the same time, in a sense more exclusive than can now be true of our professions, became the sole means of publication for truth of any class, and a publica- tion by many degrees more certain, more extensive, and more immediate, than ours by the press.
