What reading level is Essays On a Liberal Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But this is surely not in order to improve his taste, but to teach him closeness and correctness of observation, without which, in so directly imitative au art, a sense of beautiful effect may be misleading.
Digitized by VjOOQIC 118 JESSJrS ON A LIBERAL EDUCATION. [Essay II.
reading a language and that of composing in it are almost entirely distinct, and have to be acquired sepa- rately. A development of the latter faculty tends, no doubt, to improve the former to a certain degree ; but it is a... very roundabout way of improving it ; if our object is to leaiai to read and translate, the time would be much better spent in reading and translating. I quite admit that by simply reading, without much sustained effort to translate, a language so remote from our own in its idiom as the Latin, a habit of loose apprehension is formed, and not only the refinements of expression are lost, but many mistakes are made in the substantial sig- nification of sentences. But I should urge that written translation carefully looked over is, as a remedy for lax habits of reading, very far superior to any amount of composition.^ Perhaps also too much has been made of the rhetorical utility of writing Latin prose : and too little of the logical training given to maturer students by the process of translation from English into Latin.
