What reading level is Essays Critical And Political volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1519, however, the earth was circumnavigated by Magellan, and the arguments of the theologians and the Bulls of Popes were shrivelled in the strong light of truth.
But the Church showed a wonderful inaptitude to learn by experience, and it profited little from its ex- posed errors of the past in its controversy as to the centre of the universe. The pathetic stories of the lives of Copernicus and Galileo are narrated with care and candour in Dr. White's work ; and as possibly it is in this co...nnection that his essay is most adequate, and as it is in relation to the struggle between Faith and Science as to the astronomical discoveries of these men that readers are best informed, we propose only to allude to what Dr. White properly designates one of the greatest battle-fields in the warfare he has undertaken to describe.
Any reader who has truth at heart must sorrow as much for the compulsory apostasy of such a man as Galileo as for the martyrdom of a Giordano Bruno. Every man or woman whose heart is open to the large and kindly influences of human sympathy, and who is not precluded from genuine feeling with others by the narrow selfishness of superstition, must feel revolted by the trickery with which the Church endeavoured to crush the truth which was too strong for it; and by the pettifogging logic and scurrilous casuistry of those apologists who, when the truth had prevailed, endeavoured to excuse and vindicate the barbarous actions of that holy institution.
