What reading level is The Dangers And Duties of the Mercantile Profession An Address Delivered Befor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But were we admitted to the presence of one of these illustrious men, we might find him touched with infirmity, or oppressed with weariness, or dark ened with the shadow of a recent trouble, or absorbed by intrusive and tyrannous thoughts. To us the oracle might be dumb, and the light eclipsed. But when we take down one of their volumes, we run no such risk. Here we have their best thoughts embalmed in their best words ; immortal flowers of poetry, wet with Castalian dews, and the golden fruit ...of wisdom that had long ripened on the bough before it was gathered. Here we find the growth of the choicest seasons of the mind, when mortal cares were forgotten and mortal weaknesses were subdued, and the soul, stripped of its vanities and its passions, lay bare to the finest effluences of truth and beauty.
20 We may be sure that Shakspeare never out-talked his Hamlet, nor Bacon his Essays. Great writers are indeed best known through their books. How little, for instance, do we know of the life of Shaks peare, but how much do we know of him!
