What reading level is Maxims, And Moral Reflections book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are those who expose themselves boldly at the beginning of an action y MAXIMS. 119 but slacken and are disheartened at its duration. There are others who do little more than aim at preserving their honour. Some men are not equally exempt from fear at all times alike.
Some fall occasionally into a general panic. Some advance to the charge because they dare not stay in their posts. There are men whom small dangers inspire, and fit them for greater. Some are brave at the sword, but fearful o...f bullets : others defv bul- lets, but dread a sword. All these dif- ferent kinds of valour agree in this, that night, as it augments fear, so it conceals good or bad actions, and gives every one the opportunity of sparing himself. There is also another more general discretion : for we find that those who do most, would do more still, were they sure of coming off safe : so that it is very plain that the fear of death gives a damp to courage.

372. Perfect valour consists in doing without a witness all that we should be capable of doing before the whole world *.
