What reading level is Representative Men: Seven Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think of him as of some transmigrating votary of Indian legend, who says 'Though I be dog, or jackal, or pismire, in the last rudiments of nature, under what integument or ferocity, I cleave to right, as the sure ladder that leads up to man and to God.' Swedenborg has rendered a double service to mankind, which is now only beginning to be known.
By the science of experiment and use, he made his first steps : he observed and published the laws of nature ; and ascending by just degrees from eve...nts to their summits and causes, he was fired with piety at the harmonies he felt, and abandoned himself to his joy and worship. This was his first service. If the glory was too bright for his eyes to bear, if ho staggered under the trance of delight, the more ex- cellent is the spectacle he saw, the realities of being which beam and blaze through him, and which no in- firmities of the prophet are suffered to obscure; and he renders a second passive service to men, not less than the first, perhaps, in the great circle of being, — and, in the retributions of spiritual na- ture, not less glorious or less beautiful to himself.
