What reading level is Thoughts And Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What a train of brilliant deeds, of historic fame and of chivah'ous valor, is associated with this single monosyllable ! It carries our reflections far back into those by-gone days, when Joshua drew his Sword for the cause of the Lord ; through those warlike ages of Greece and Rome down to the latest event, wherein the sword was the chief instrument. It brings fresh to our minds the mighty deeds of Gideon and David, of Alex- ander and Cffisar, of Peter the Great and Napoleon. In legends and tra...ditions the sword is the deliverer of princesses and virgins, and in real history, too, the stories of magnanimity, of self-sacrifice, of justice, of patriotism are often the story of the Sword. Often as it is the emblem of authority, oftener still, alas ! does it tell tlolcful talcs of sorrow and dreadful tales of brutalit)'. Just i)icture to your mind tens of thousands of the suffering poor, of those that are slain in the i)rime of manhood, of those that are berea\'ed of their brothers, husbands, fathers and sons, of those that are left naked and penniless !
