What reading level is Essays Speculative And Political book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If you consider how slightly science was in his day esteemed ; if you remember the fears of the orthodox, the contempt of the learned, the in- difference of the powerful, the ignorance of the many, you will perhaps agree that no greater work could be performed in its interest than that to which Bacon set his hand. " He entered not the promised land. " True ; but was it nothing to proclaim in the hearing of a generation wandering in the desert that there is a promised land ? " He joined not in t...he battle. " True ; but was it nothing to blow so loud a call that the notes of his clarion are still ringing in our ears ? Let us not be ungrateful.
This is a theme on which much more could be said, but I am sure that this is not the time to say it. There was a magnificent compliment paid to Bacon's eloquence by Ben Jonson a compliment so magnificent that, in my private conviction, neither Bacon nor any other speaker has ever deserved it. The poet alleges that the chief anxiety of those who heard the orator 164 FRANCIS BACON was lest his oratory should come to an end.
