What reading level is Speech of John Hay At the Unveiling of the Bust of Sir Walter Scott in Westminst book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the author of Waverley^ amid all the vicissitudes of changing modes, has kept his pre-eminence in two hemispheres, as the master of imaginative narration. Even those of us who make no pretensions to the critical faculty may see the twofold reason of this enduring masterhood. Both mentally and morally, Scott was one of the greatest writers that ever lived. His IN Westminster Abbey ii mere memory, his power of acquiring and retaining serviceable facts, was almost incon- ceivable to ordinary m...en, and his constructive imagination was nothing short of prodigious. The lochs and hills of Scotland swarm with the engaging phantoms with which he has peopled them for all time ; the historical per- sonages of past centuries are jostled in our memories by the characters he has created, more vivid in vitality and colour than the real soldiers and lovers with whom he has cast their hves. But probably the morality of Scott appeals more strongly to the many than even his enormous mental powers. Plis ideals are lofty and pure ; his heroes are brave and strong, not exempt from human infirmities, but always devoted to ends more or less noble.
