What reading level is The Works of Voltaire: a Contemporary Version With Notes, volume 21 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pascal's genius and eloquence, but this respect serves to convince me that he himself would have corrected many of those thoughts that he occasion- ally committed to paper, with an intention of exam- ining them afterwards, and at the same time that I combat his opinions, I admire his genius.
It appears to me that M. Pascal's design in gen- eral was to exhibit mankind in an odious light. He exacts the uttermost efforts of his pen to make us all appear a wicked and wretched set of beings. He writ...es against the human species, in much the same strain as he wrote against the Jesuits. He ascribes to the essence of our nature things that are peculiar to some men only, and with all imaginable elo- quence abuses the whole race of mankind. I shall be so bold as to defend my fellow creatures against the invectives of this sublime misanthropist. I will venture to affirm that we are neither so wretched nor so wicked as he declares us to be. I am like- wise fully persuaded, that had he, in the book he proposed to write, carried into execution the plan laid down by him in his thoughts, it would have been a work full of eloquent false reasonings and Digitized by Google Digitized by Google ILAISE RA80AL.
