What reading level is Philosophical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" To these associations, Darkness, Power, Terror, Eternity, and various other adjuncts of Sublimity, lend their aid in a manner too palpable to admit of any comment.
Chap. III. ON THE SUBLIME. 409 CHAPTER THIRD.
GENERALIZATIONS OF SUBLIMITY IN CONSEQUENCE OF ASSOCIATIONS RESULTING FROM THE PHENO- MENA OF GRAVITATION, AND FROM THE OTHER PHYSICAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH WHICH OUR SENSES ARE CONVERSANT.
WHEN we confine our views to the earth's surface, a variety of additional causes conspire, with those... al- ready suggested, to strengthen the association be- tween Elevated Position and the ideas of Power, or of the Terrible. I shall only mention the security it affords against a hostile attack, and the advantage it yields in the use of missile weapons ; two circum- stances which give an expressive propriety to the epithet commanding, as employed in the language of Fortification.
In other cases, elevated objects excite emotions still more closely allied to admiration and to awe, in consequence of our experience of the force of heavy bodies falling downwards from a great height.
