What reading level is Essays of Sir William Temple book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may look like a paradox, to deduce learn- ing from regions accounted commonly so bar- barous and rude. And it is true the generality of people were always so, in those eastern countries, and their lives wholly turned to agriculture, to mechanics, or to trades : but this does not hinder particular races or suc- cessions of men (the design of whose thought and time was turned wholly to learning and knowledge) from having been what they are represented, and what they deserve to be esteemed; sin...ce among the Gauls, the Goths, and the Peruvians themselves, there have been such races of men under the names of Druids, Bards, Amautas, Runers, and other barbarous appellations.
Besides, I know no circumstances like to contribute more to the advancement of know- ledge and learning among men, than exact temperance in their races, great pureness of air and equality of climate, long tranquillity of empire or government : and all these we may justly allow to those eastern regions, more than any others we are acquainted with, at least till the conquest made by the Tartars 215 AN ESSAY UPON ANCIENT upon both India and China, in the latter cen- turies.
