What reading level is Remarks On Classical And Utilitarian Studies, Read Before the American Academy of Arts And Sciences, Dec. 20, 1866 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It sounded the depths of the human heart as it then existed, a compound of savage impulses, grasping credulity, and strong human yearnings. On this basis it con- structed gods and heroes, and finished them with a completeness and individuality of character not to have been expected from the existing age and the UTILITARIAN STUDIES. 27 limited materials which that age afforded. The miracle of its composition is exceeded only by that of its preservation. Prom obscure and shadowy beginnings, it ha...s descended through nearly three thousand years of accumulating homage, to receive from loyal worshippers its apotheosis at the present day. It is not enough that it was applauded and held up as a model by the writers of antiquity. Its fame had not culminated till the nineteenth century ; and we now see it occupying a throne in the schools and universities, at least of England, of which the steps belong to the very structure and machinery of church and state. The word "learning" now means a knowledge of Greek literature, and the name "scholar" is accorded to none but those familiar with the works of Homer and his country- men.
