What reading level is The British Essayists With Prefaces Historical And Biographical volume 17 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For their own application implies the pursuit of something commendable ; and when they see their own characters proposed as imitable, they must be won by such an irresistible flattery. But those of the university, who are to make their fortunes by a ready insinuation into the favour of their supe- riors, contemn this necessary foppery so far, as not to be able to speak common sense to them without hesitation, perplexity, and confusion. For want of care in acquiring less accomplishments which ad...orn ordinary life, he that is so unhappy as to be born poor, is condemned to a method that will very pro- bably keep him so.
I hope all the learned will forgive me what is said purely for their service, and tends to no other in- jury against them, than admonibhing them not to overlook such little qualifications, as they every day see defeat their greater excellencies in the pur- suit both of reputation, and fortune.
If the youth of the university were to be ad- vanced, according to their sufficiency in the se- vere progress of learning ; or ' riches could be secured to men of understanding, and favour to men of skill;' then indeed all studies were solemnly to be defied, than did not seriously pursue the main end ; but since our merit is to be tried by the unskilful many, we must gratify the sense of the in- judicious majority, satisfy ourselves that the shame of a trivial qualification, sticks only upon him that prefers it to one more substantial.
