What reading level is Fables of Aesop And Others book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not be- ing- employed much, but well, and to the purpose, which makes us useful to the age we live in, and celebrated by those which are to come. As it is a misfortune to the countries which are infested with them, for Foxes and other vermin to multiply, so, one cannot help throwing out a melancholy reflection when one sees some particulars of the human kind increase as fast as they do.
But the most obvious meaning of this Fable is, the hint it gives us in the relation to Authors. These g...entlemen should never attempt to raise tJicmsclves a reputation, by enumerating the catalogue of their productions. Since there is more glory in having written one tolerable piece, than a thousand indiffer- ent ones; and whoever has had the good fortune to please in one performance of this kind, should be very cautious how he veutures his reputation in a second.
mZ 138 ESOP'S FABLES FAB. LXIX. The Stag and the Fawn.
The Stag, grown old and mischievous, was, accord ing to custom, stamping with his foot, making offers with his head, and bellowing so terribly that the whole herd quaked for fear of him, when one of the little Fawns coming up, addressed him to this pur- pose; pray, what is the reason that you, who are so stout and formidable at all other times, if you do but hear the cry of the hounds, are ready to fly out of your skin for fear?
