What reading level is Manners, Friendship, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He who offers himself a candi- date for that covenant comes up, like an Olympian, to the great games where the first-born of the world are the competitors. He proposes himself for contests where Time, Want, Danger, are in the lists, and he alone is victor who has truth enough in his constitu- tion to preserve the delicacy of his beauty from the FRIENDSHIP 243 wear and tear of all these. The gifts of fortune may be present or absent, but all the speed in that contest de- pends on intrinsic noble...ness and the contempt of tri- fles. There are two elements that go to the composi- tion of friendship, each so sovereign that I can detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be first named. One is truth. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost gar- ments 26 of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
