What reading level is Reminiscences of Oxford book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Oxford Tracts, however, have, of late years somewhat redeemed the character of this ancient and renowned school of orthodox theology ; had it been the fate of my incomparable friend to have met with these, or rather with some of them, with how much delight and instruction would he not have perused and profited by them.
Some slight advances have unquestionably been recently made towards removing the stigma of utter uselessness with which the University of Oxford has been branded ; until late...ly it seemed to exist only for the discouragement of learning. For many years I desired, I trust, with no illiberal curiosity, and for a long time I desired it eagerly, to consult certain Greek and other MSS. , deposited in the Bodleian and other libraries. I ventured sometimes to hint my wish to persons who were in a position to have granted it very easily ; but I found no encouragement. At the best I was told, that if I went to Oxford, and procured the recommendation of some Master of Arts, I might enter those well-closed depositories, as others might, and could do as they did ; what this was, I could never discover ; probably to return as wise as they came.
