What reading level is The American Review : a Whig Journal of Politics, Literature, Art, And Science V.7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have often fancied that if the Avhole range of thought were gone over, of which the mind is capable, and all thoughts con- sidered with reference to their origin — that then we might arrive at some simple ori- ginals, fewer in number than the material elements, which should contain the germs and roots of them all. Thus the plain view of human chai'acter and motive set forth in the Holy Scriptures might be seen to be not only true, but the most profound that can be taken ; and those torsos of... ancient ballads, which abound in all litera- tures, might be seen to have survived the wrack of time, not by the result of accident, but from their originating in greatness and being thence adapted to the highest as well as lowest conditions of being. For it is as much as the most honest and earnest seeker after truth can do, to conquer the downward inclination to profunditj/-, and when we consider how many there are who have no scruples, but are ever anxiously endeavoring to astonish their fellows in this wise, what wonder is it that generation after generation should be kept wandering in dark mazes and crooked ways, when, if they would but look upward, they might walk in the direct beams of the eternal sun !
