What reading level is Shetland And the Shetlanders; Or, the Northern Circuit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Connoiseurs all agree in saying, that the finest painting in this collection is that of St. Paul rebuking St. Peter. The colouring and expression are so exceedingly forcible, that I could not get far enough off to catch the general effect advantageously, but it looked too hard and distinct, having very much the effect of a tableau vivant, without the gauze curtain.
I could not but reflect, in looking around on those ancient walls and pictures, what a busy interesting world this has been before ...we entered it ! So many distinguished men ! so many beau- tiful w^omen ! so many fine painters ! so many ven- erable books, in black letter, and in white letter ! so many banners now idly waving over our heads, and so many broad-swords rusting in their scab- 214 GORDON CASTLE.
bards, which wanted only the heroes who wielded them, to become as bright and as powerful as ever ! Ours is a busy world still, but how different ! What a sordid money-making activity bestirs us now ! Men were formerly estimated according to their heroism, their bodily strength, or their talents, but now the standard of every thing is w^ealth — not even the use that is made of it, but the mere pos- session !
