What reading level is Observations On the Character Customs And Superstitions of the Irish And On book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The method of multiply- ing copies of any author, was, at that time, as well as for many ages afterwards, extremely tedious and expensive : the opulent alone could afford the gratification of a tolerable library. From this circumstance, a few copies of the inspired volume, or perhaps a single copy among the members of one congregation, was as much as could be expected. And though this would be carefully and frequently consulted, yet from the nature of the case it must be presumed, that the peop...le derived their principal informa- tion from the pastors of the church. Notwith- standing this disadvantage, Christianity, to a period long subsequent to the decease of its only infallible teachers, flourished in all its purity, and mightily prevailed. Its humble preachers were not yet acquainted with the metaphysical jargon of the schools ; the doc- trine of Christ supremely occupied their atten- tion ; neither was there yet any temptation presented to unprincipled men to assume the mask of religion, to make the church the path to opulence and power, and zeal for its cause a pretence to the accomplishment of the most criminal designs.
