What reading level is Optimism : An Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But our statistics are more complete and accurate than the statistics of times past. Besides, there are many offences on the list which half a century ago would not have been thought of as crimes. This shows that the public conscience is more sensitive than it ever was.
Our definition of crime has grown stricter, our punishment of it more lenient and intelligent. The old feel- ing of revenge has largely disap- peared. It is no longer an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The criminal is treat...ed as one who is diseased. He is confined not merely for punish- ment, but because he is a menace to society. While he is under restraint, he is treated with humane care and disciplined so that his mind shall be cured of its disease, and he shall be restored to society able to do his part of its work.
