What reading level is Recollections of James Martineau With Some Letters From Him And An Essay On His book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Greek thought JAMES MARTINEAU 83 fate was a dark and mysterious power which was superior to all the highly anthropomorphic divinities, a kind of sombre, non-human, and im- palpable force which brooded over the whole cosmos. The gods might be pacified, but fate was implacable and absolutely inexorable. It very much limited the range of free will in man. Like demoniacal possession amongst the Jews, it sometimes almost sported with men, and made them act in a way contrary to their trained char-... acters. In modern times fate assumes the garb of heredity. In his essay on Fate, Emerson brings out plainly enough the terrible agency of this subtle and hidden enemy of human freedom. He says, " How shall a man escape from his ancestors, or draw off from his veins the black drop which he drew from his father's or his mother's life ? It often appears in a family as if all the qualities of the progenitors were potted in several jars — some ruling quality in each son or daughter of the house — and sometimes the unmixed temperament, the rank unmitigated elixir, the family vice, is drawn off in a separate individual, and the others are proportionally relieved.
