What reading level is The Criterion; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
141 of a village but a few miles from the Capital, have so identified their Greek origin with the costume of a hoi- iday, that, as one scans their festal array, it is easy to imagine that the unmixed blood of their classic pro- genitors flushes in the dark eyes and mantles in the olive cheeks. This ancestral dress is the endeared heir- loom in the homes of the peasantry, assumed with con- scious pride and gayety, to meet the wondering eyes of neighboring contadini, curious Palermitans, and de- ...lighted strangers, who flock to the spectacle.
The love of power is a great teacher of human in- stincts ; and despotism, both civil and spiritual, has, in all ages, availed itself of the natural instinct for festi- vals, to multiply and enhance shows, amusements, and holidays, in a manner which yields profitable lessons to free communities intent on adapting the same means to nobler ends. The stated pilgrimage to the tomb of the Prophet is an important part of the superstitious ma- chinery of the Mahommedan tyranny over the will and conscience ; and it is difficult to conceive now to what an extent the zeal and unity of the early Christians were enforced by specific days of ceremonial, and by such a hallowed goal as Jerusalem.
