What reading level is The Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
each nation first was rude, Each man a cheerless son of solitude, To whom no joys of social life were known, None felt a care that was not all his own;Or in some languid clime his abject soulBow'd to a little tyrant's stern control;A slave, with slaves his monarch's throne he raised, And in rude song his ruder idol praised;The meaner cares of life were all he knew;Bounded his pleasures, and his wishes few;But when by slow degrees the Arts arose, And Science waken'd from her long repose;When Com...merce, rising from the bed of ease, Ran round the land, and pointed to the seas;When Emulation, born with jealous eye, And Avarice, lent their spurs to industry;Then one by one the numerous laws were made, Those to control, and these to succour trade;To curb the insolence of rude command, To snatch the victim from the usurer's hand;To awe the bold, to yield the wrong'd redress, And feed the poor with Luxury's excess. " {3} Like some vast flood, unbounded, fierce, and strong, His nature leads ungovern'd man along;Like mighty bulwarks made to stem that tide, The laws are form'd, and placed on ev'ry side;Whene'er it breaks the bounds by these decreed, New statutes rise, and stronger laws succeed;More and more gentle grows the dying stream, More and more strong the rising bulwarks seem;Till, like a miner working sure and slow, Luxury creeps on, and ruins all below;The basis sinks, the ample piles decay;The stately fabric, shakes and falls away;Primeval want and ignorance come on, But Freedom, that exalts the savage state, is gone.
