What reading level is Browsing Among Books, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A steady course in it is possible to none ; every slight breeze that ruffles the sails re- quires a new^ tack. AVhat it loses in spicy inter- est, when compared with gossip, it must supply by SMALL-TALK. 155 dash and piijuancy, keeping its bright sallies ever flying, like gilded balls tossed from the hand of an Indian jnggler.
The Augustan age of smnll-talk is yet in the future. It is limited now to the mere trifles of daily life; but when the prevailing intelligence shall permit it to glance s...wiftly over all matters of art, nature, and social culture, it will become rich and suggestive^ and illumine with its light- ning flashes the whole extent of humnn interests.
The common possession of tact — which is merely the name we give to the delicate imagination that can surmise another^s wishes, and furnish a ready means for indulging them — shall spare each man^s feelings from careless wounds. Quick, sympa- thetic intelligence, a mental sensitiveness to the nicest shades of thought^ shall catch the subtle meanings that lurk in the lift of an eyebrow, a wink, or the curl of a lip- corner, and fully seize the vanishing fancy.
