What reading level is Eighteenth Century Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the other powers of literature are coy and haughty DICK \riXIM THE CRITIC. 195 hauglnv ; tliey must be long courted, and at last are not always gained : but Criticism is a goddess easy of access, and forward of advance, who will meet the slow, and encourage the timorous ; the want of meaning she supplies with words, and the want of spirit she recompenses with malignity.
This profession has one recommendation peculiar to itself, that it gives vent to malignity without real mischief. No geniu...s was ever blasted by the breath of critics. The poison which, if confined, would have burst the heart, fumes away in empty hisses, and malice is set at ease with very little danger to merit. The critic is the only man whose triumph is without another's pain, and whose greatness does not rise upon another's ruin.
To a study at once so easy and so reputable, so malicious and so harmless, it cannot be necessary to invite my readers by a long or laboured exhortation ; it is sufficient, since all would be critics if they could, to shew by one eminent e~xample, that all can be critics if they will.
