What reading level is Britain At Bay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consider the way in which nature organises all things that live and grow. In the structure of a living thing every part has its function, its work to do. There are no superfluous mm THE NATION 105 organs, and if any fails to do its work the creature sickens and perhaps dies.
Take the idea of the nation as I have tried to convey it and apply it as a measure or test to our customary way of thinking both of public affairs and of our own lives. Does it not reveal that we attach too much importance ...to having and to possessions — our own and other people's — and too little importance to doing, to service ? When we ask what a man is worth, we think of what he owns. But the words ought to make us think of what he is fit for and of what service he renders to the nation. The only value of what a man has springs from what he does with it.
The idea of the nation leads to the right way of looking at these matters, because it constrains every man to put himself and all that he has at the service of the community.
