What reading level is Oliver Wendell Holmes An Appreciation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his rejoinder Holmes wrote, I am an out-and-out republican in politics, a firm believer in the omnipotence of truth, in the constant onward struggle of the race, in the growing influence and blessed agency of the great moral principles now at work in the midst of all the errors and excesses with which they are attended. He concludes his letter to Lowell in a very dignified tone of remonstrance.
I listen to your suggestions with great respect. I mean to reflect upon them, and I hope to gain s...omething from them. But I must say, with regard to art and the management of my own powers, I think I shall in the main follow my own judgment and taste rather than mould myself upon those of others. I shall follow the bent of my natural thoughts, which grow more grave and tender, or will do so as years creep over me. I shall not be afraid of gayety more than of old, but I shall have more courage to be serious. Above all, I shall always be pleased rather to show what is beautiful in the life around me than to be pitching into giant vices, against which the acrid pulpit and the corrosive newspaper will always anticipate the gentle poet.
