What reading level is The Spectator book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No. 125 T:he SPECTATOR 213 long torn in pieces by the Guelfs and Ghibelines, and France by those who were for and against the League ; but it is very unhappy for a man to be born in such a stormy and tempestuous season. It is the restless ambition of artful men that thus breaks a people into factions, and draws several well-meaning persons ^ to their interest by a specious concern for their country. How many honest minds are filled with uncharitable and barbarous notions, out of their zeal for ...the public good ? What cruelties and outrages would they not commit against men of an adverse party, whom they would honour and esteem if, instead of considering them as they are represented, they knew them as they are .? Thus are persons of the greatest probity seduced into shameful errors and prejudices, and made bad men even by that noblest of principles, the love of their country. I cannot here forbear mentioning the famous Spanish proverb, ' If there were neither fools nor knaves in the world, all people would be of one mind.' For my own part, I could heartily wish that all honest men would enter into an association for the support of one another against the endeavours of those whom they ought to look upon as their com- mon enemies, whatsoever side they may belong to.
