What reading level is Oliver Wendell Holmes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
one, O. W. Holmes, jun., served as a captain in the civil war, and is a judge and an eminent writer upon legal subjects.) In 1847 he was appointed professor of Anatomy at Harvard, which place he held until 1882. He was highly respected as a man of science, and beloved as an instructor; but as time went on his literary genius quite overbore his professional zeal, and it is as a poet and essayist that he will be re- membered.
He began writing verse while an undergraduate, but his first efforts we...re not remarkable. While in the law school he contributed to the Collegian a few poems of a light and humorous character which first gave indications of his future power; among these are 'Evening, by a Tailor' and 'The Height of the Ridiculous.' There is a reminiscence of his life in Paris in the tender poem beginning 'Ah, Clemence !
when I saw thee last.' A little later was written ' The Last Leaf,' which contains one perfect stanza, and which from the blending of quaintness and pathos is perhaps the most fortunate and characteristic of his minor poems.
