What reading level is The Greyson Letters : Selections From the Correspondence of R.E.H. Greyson, Esq. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
question is liable to be attended with a much more serious evil than this. To be truly benevolent in heart, and strive to show it, even though the mode were so absurd as to prove that the heart had robbed the head of all its brains, would be something ; — to be laughed at as an idiotic angel would still have some consolation. But the mischief is, that a morbid indulgence of sympathy and sensibility is but too likely to end in extinguishing benev- olence. I imagine I hear you say, " Sensibility ...to distress, and sympathy with it, quench benevolence ! this is, indeed, a hard lesson ; who can hear it ? " It is true notwithstand- ing; and as sympathy with distress, — fictitious distress, you understand, — and sensibility to it, increases, active benevolence may be in precisely inverse ratio.
If you ask how this can be, I answer, that it depends on 176 THE GKEYSON LETTERS.
a curious law of our mental mechanism, which was pointed out by Bishop Butler,— with whose writings, by the bye, I hope you will be better acquainted some time within the next two years, and which will do you a world more good than a whole Bodleian library of novels.
