What reading level is Laws book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The unrighteous and vicious are always to be pitiedin any case; and one can afford to forgive as well as pity him who iscurable, and refrain and calm one's anger, not getting into a passion, like a woman, and nursing ill-feeling. But upon him who is incapableof reformation and wholly evil, the vials of our wrath should be pouredout; wherefore I say that good men ought, when occasion demands, to beboth gentle and passionate.
Of all evils the greatest is one which in the souls of most menis innat...e, and which a man is always excusing in himself and nevercorrecting; I mean, what is expressed in the saying that 'Every man bynature is and ought to be his own friend. ' Whereas the excessive love ofself is in reality the source to each man of all offences; for the loveris blinded about the beloved, so that he judges wrongly of the just, the good, and the honourable, and thinks that he ought always to preferhimself to the truth. But he who would be a great man ought to regard, not himself or his interests, but what is just, whether the just act behis own or that of another.
