What reading level is Harvardiana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I shall take it as established then, first, that man cannot be reasonably supposed to have been placed in view oi the universe of stars for any other purpose than to learn his destiny from them ; and, secondly, that the belief in their being so connected with his destiny is an obvions and natural one. And here, although much remains un- noticed, I must leave this part of the subject, only adding that, in my humble view, had the telescope never been applied to this noble end, had the celestial r...egion never been marked out into its appropriate '' houses," and the £BUes of individuals and communities, families and em- pires predicted with unerring certainty by the aid of the science founded on these observations, — were all this yet undone, still there would be amply enough and more than enough ground for undoubting faith in this fundamental principle of judicial astrology.
II. Thus far I have confined myself to the establish^ ment of the proposition, that there is an overpowering balance of probabilities in favor of the supposition of the heavenly bodies being, in some way, connected with earthly events and destinies; that, independent on all direct discoveries, we should have ample reason for be- lieving that such a connexion did actually exist.
