What reading level is Historical And Critical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
155 which is also original. One animal structure, com* pared with another of a different class, is equally good and perfect. One valley, which is no copy of another, but has a separate and peculiar beauty, cannot be compared for any purpose of disadvantage with an- other. One poem, which is composed upon a law of its own, and has a characteristic or separate beauty of its own, cannot be inferior to any other poem what- soever. The class, the order, may be inferior; the scale may be a lower one ...; but the individual work, the degree of merit marked upon the scale, must be equal — if only the poem is equally original. In all such cases, understand, ye miserable snarlers at con- temporary merit, that the puerile gout de comparaison (as La Bruyere calls it) is out of place ; universally you cannot affirm any imparity^ where the ground is preoccupied by disparity. Where there is no parity of principle, there is no basis for comparison.
