What reading level is Macaulay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Compare the men whom those schools formed at those two periods. Compare Plato and Libanius ; Pericles m. ] THE "ESSAYS. " 103 and Julian. This philosophy confessed, nay, boasted, that for every end but one it was useless. Had it attained that one end?" It is difficult to handle the sciolism implied in such remarks and such a question. What had occurred between the dates specified those of Pericles and Julian ? Only the conquest of the world by the Romans, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic... and Empire, the invasion of the barbarians, and the proximate dissolution of society. This is to count for nothing. The greatest revolution in human annals the death throes, in short, of the old world could not be expected to influence the course and value of speculation! The thing to notice was, that Libanius was inferior to Plato, and Julian to Pericles, and that set- tled the point that the ancient philosophy was nothing but cant and hypocrisy. Again, we are asked to believe that it was through the perversity of a few great minds that the blessings of the experimental philosophy were so long withheld from the world.
