What reading level is A Memoir of Anne Jemima Cough First Principal of Newnham College Cambridge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Miss Clough's intellectual power was by no means so obvious to those who did not know her intimately as her remarkable kindness and sympathy. It needed time and some attention to her sayings and doings to discover it ; and probably comparatively few, even of those who had opportunities of frequent intercourse with her, realised fully her insight, her delicacy of perception, her width of view and wise sobriety of judgment, or the extraordinary fertility of resource and originality, even audacity..., of thought which were combined with these. Several causes contributed to prevent her real power from being easily and quickly recognised. The chief of these was un- doubtedly her deficiency in power of expression, in consequence of wliich her real self was only made known in her actions, in fragmentary sayings, and in her general attitude of mind.
]\fr, s. Francis Darwin, who was a student and after- wards a lecturer at Newnhani, says of her : " Her kindness Life and Work at Newnham College 227 was, I think, the practical but imperfect expression of Miss Clough's genius ; for the fineness of perception, the width and versatility of the sympathies that lay at the back of it were, if not genius itself, akin to genius ; but because she had no corresponding genius in expression, it diffused itself in numerous practical channels and remained unrecognised as a whole.
