What reading level is Political Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The army now exists as a profession only for an infinitesimal fraction of the nation ; and war for the able-bodied masses means in the first place a vexatious interruption of their proper pursuits, with loss and sore anxiety for their families ; and then, for themselves, the fiery ordeal of the actual campaign, almost wholly uncompensated in their case by the eclat and the rewards that await the professional soldier. To be sure, while nations were merely hordes of warriors, war would be their n...atural vocation, and perhaps pastime ; but that a nation engaged in industrial pursuits, and in full career of civil life, should turn aside from its fields, its workshops, its desks and books, to gird on its armour, and throw itself into war, for any reason short of the gravest, for any reason not tanta- mount to self-defence this is not easily conceivable. It will be said that Prussia has done so, if not in the present, at least in former wars. But, without entering here into the morality of the Danish and Austrian contests, it suffices to remark that Prussia is in truth not a fair example of the influence of a national army.
