What reading level is Crabbed Age & Youth, & Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another portrait which irre- sistibly attracted the eye was the half-length of Robert M*Queen, of Braxfield, Lord Justice-Cleric.
If I know gusto in painting when I see it, this canvas was painted with rare enjoyment. The tart, 43 SOME PORTRAITS BY RAEBURN rosy, humorous look of the man, his nose like a cudgel, his face resting squarely on the jowl, has been caught and perpetuated with something that looks like broth- eriy love. A peculiariy subtle expression haunts the lower part, sensual and ...incredulous, like that of a man tasting good Bordeaux with half a fancy it has been somewhat too long uncorked.
From under the pendulous eyelids of old age, the eyes look out with a half-youthful, half-frosty twinkle. Hands, with no pretence to distinction, are folded on the judge's stomach. So sympatheti- cally is the character conceived by the portrait-painter, that it is hardly possible to avoid some movement of sympathy on the part of the spectator. And sym- pathy is a thing to be encouraged, apart from humane considerations, because it supplies us with the materials for wisdom.
