What reading level is Gems of Beauty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But such we behold the condition of the human race In the incal- culable human mass of a whole idolatrous world, we are shpwn here and there an individual, or a diminu- tive combination of individuals, little shining particles, specimens of what the right state of the world would have been.
13. Aggregate view of the history of the world appalling. — I have sometimes thought, if the sun were an intelligence, he would be horribly incensed at the world he is appointed to enlighten ; such a tale of... ages, exhibiting a tiresome repetition of stu- pidity, follies, and crimes.
14. Common persuasion of human depravity. — We have such an habitual persuasion of the general depravity of human nature, that in falling among strangers we always reckon on their being irreligious, till we discover some specific indication of the con- trary.
15. Popular ignorance intercej^ts the rays of moral illumination. — Utter io^norance is a most eff'ectual fortification to a bad state of the mind. Prejudice may perhaps be removed ; unbelief may be reasoned with ; even demoniacs have been compelled to bear witness to the truth ; but the stupidity of confirmed ignorance not only defeats the ultimate efficacy of the means for making men wiser and better, but stands in preliminary defiance to the very act of their ap- plication.
