What reading level is The Chase An Anthology of Hunting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When I was some Years younger than I am at present, I used to employ myself in a more laborious Diversion, which I learned from a Latin Treatise of Exercises that is written with great Erudition ; it is there called the Fighting with a Man's own Shadow ; and consists in the brandishing of two short Sticks grasped in each hand, and Loaden with Plugs of Lead at either end. This opens the chest, exercises the Limbs, and gives a Man all the Pleasures of Boxing, without the blows. I could wish that ...several Learned Men would lay out that time which they employ in Controversies and Dis- putes about nothing, in this method of fighting with their own Shadows. It might conduce very much to evaporate the Spleen, which makes them uneasy to the Publick as well as to themselves.
To conclude. As I am a Compound of Soul and Body, I consider my self as obliged to a double scheme of Duties ; and think I have not fulfilled the Business of the Day, when I do not thus employ the one in Labour and Exercise, as well as the other in Study and Contemplation.
