What reading level is Lectures Delivered in Connection With the Dedication of the Graduate College of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Fellows of colleges who wanted church preferment edited Greek plays. I fear bishops have other qualifications now. In and outside the church some sort of classical knowledge was the appanage of the governing classes. In "Friendship's Garland" M. Arnold depicts the Rev. Esau Hittall, the sporting parson of the mid- Victorian era, whose claims to culture rested on a legendary copy of verses ("longs and shorts") on the Calydonian boar. If a man had no other considerable claims to re- spect, he was..., if an elegant scholar, entitled to look down on those who, like Shakespeare, had small Latin and less Greek. You may remem- ber Thackeray's somewhat ungentle picture of a Fellow of a College, often drunk and quite useless to the world (as Thackeray says) when 80 A. D. GODLEY sober, who still considers that he is something above ordinary mortals because he can turn anything in the world into Greek iambics.
So classical culture was the fashion; parlia- mentary oratory was tricked out with classical quotations; the House, less candid, or less vir- tuous than ours, must at least pretend to understand its Virgil and Horace.
