What reading level is Transactions ... 1900-1904/5 Yr.1904-1905 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To this. Culture is indiff'erent ; the moral, spiritual, or aesthetic worth of a thing alone concern it : while Barbarism is impressed by the pecuniary aspect ; just as, when Etty's pictures were exhibited, his ad- miring countrymen travelled up from Yorkshire to see them, not for their artistic merit, but for the sums of money they were credibly asserted 85 to have brought. And of all the soldiers in the army of culture, the an- tiquary is perhaps brought into the sharpest collision with the b...arbarian, for with him, regarded as an antiquary merely, the one indispensable condition of his admiration of anything is that it should be old ; and age is the attribute which the barbarian holds most in abomination. It is really very surprising to gather from the conversation of uncultivated people how repugnant the idea of antiquity is to them. Except in the case of old plate, old wine and the like, whose money value up to a cer- tain point is enhanced in the ratio of their antiquity, and such an excep- tional instance as old friends, the mere circumstance of an object's antiquity seems sufficient to condemn it.
