What reading level is Makers of the Nineteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Only once in history has a mighty teacher striven to build up a civilisation in absolute alienation from all Theism. Sakya-muni, the Buddha, with heart burning with compassion for the woes of men, strove to do that thing. And behold ! the Buddhists of the after centuries, how- ever loyal to his ethics, by the compulsion of the spiritual nature in which we are wrought, reverted to prayer, to worship, to adoration, to the psalm of praise, as though the Buddha had proclaimed a Living God. Thrust o...ut nature with a pitchfork, yet always she returns. If the element of faith be cast forth at the front door, it creeps in at the back ere many days. No steady and united forward movement of mankind has ever been made without the binding and propelling power of some faith in a higher Being than man, without the humbling of the soul before a high and holy One who evokes the great and noble passions of love and loyalty and reverence. You may dash to pieces the cobwebs of metaphysics, tear to shreds the texture of theology, but human nature refuses to proceed on its mighty march through the ages without the element of worship, of the upward look, of hands folded and head bowe.
