What reading level is Memoirs of Eminent Etonians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will be seen, from the portions of this narrative which I am about to quote, that More was trained up in the creed of ultra- Calvinism; that ghastly doctrine, of which none but a hard- hearted man can become a disciple, without feeling that " Qusesivit luceni coelo, ingemuitqoe reperta. " 138 HENRY MOKE.
It will be seen how More's gentle spirit strove against this creed, and how in the stages of theological distress through which his youthful mind passed, a fervent belief in the great truths... of religion ever dwelt and moved within him, and preserved him from falling into the scepticism, into which too many have lapsed in the recoil of their hearts from the Calvinistic tenets. It is evident from this autobiography that More, like Coleridge, was a Platonist even before he had read Plato. Thus it is manifest that More, at the crisis of his religious state, was preserved in Theism by the influence of that great proof of God's existence and his attributes, which Plato so eloquently inculcates, namely, by the thought of him being innate in our minds, and by the very feeling of affinity to his nature which stirs within our souls.
