What reading level is Two Lectures On the Science of Language book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Sky-god sent the lightning which blasted the Oak, the chief of trees, and presumably the most abundant in the region where the cult arose. A peculiar sanctity was always, even in much later ages, attached to objects and persons struck by lightning, and the blasted oak was considered to be the special abode of the Sky-god who had thus come and Primitive History 53 to his own. Apart from the sanctity of the oak, the fact that words for " acorn " are widely attested, and have primitive appeara...nce, would seem to suggest that the tree provided food for man as well as beast.
It is interesting to note how the "rain from heaven and fruitful seasons," declared by St Paul to be God's witness of Himself to the heathen world, produced among the remote ancestors of those to whom he spoke a cult of the sky that gave rain and the tree that bore fruit. And "the times of that ignorance God overlooked," well pleased — we are encouraged to believe — that even by the imperfect nature-worship of the "Sky Father" He had led His children to know that they were "His offspring." The other strain of primitive religion, the ancestor- worship, is hardly supported at all by evidence from language.
