What reading level is Our Bishops And Deans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But slowly and surely he unfitted himself for such a consummation. He came essentially to belong to the order of those who live history, and not to those who write it. That great administrative ability, that great oratorical ability, Digitized by LjOOQIC THE LATE BISHOP OF WINOHESTEB. 233 that great political ability, were all fatal to his literary renown. And yet the case might have b^en so dif- ferent. Those very powers which might have made him a great author, diverted into other channels, r...efuse to be at the service of his pen. The brilliancy and cogency, the pathos and humour, the imagination and eloquence, which have made him a prince among the great talkers of the age, comparatively desert him in the solitude of his study when he quietly addresses the world through pen and ink. Run over in your mind the list of the volumes which he has edited or com- posed. Two charming little volumes are first called to mind. We, of course, remember " Agathos, and other Sunday Stories,'* followed afterwards by the companion volume of " The Rocky Island.'* But be it remembered that these were composed at the outset of Bishop Wilberforce's career, when it was still pos- sible to hope that their author's great powers might produce some permanent additions to our literature, and his restless and crowded public career had not yet opened fully before him.
