What reading level is Historical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But so it was with all these men. Thev were cut off in the flower of their days, and few of them laid their bones in the sepulchres of their fathers. They knew the service which they had chosen, and they did not ask the wages for Avhich they had not labored. Life with them was no summer holi- day, hut a holy sacrifice offered up to duty, and what their Master sent was welcome. Beautiful is old age — beautiful as the slow-drop- ping mellow autumn of a rich glorious summer. In the old man, nature... has fulfilled her work ; she loads him with her blessings ; she fills him with the fruits of a well-spent life; and, sur- rounded by his children and his children's children, she rocks him softly away to a grave, to which he is followed with blessings. God forbid we should not call it beautiful. It is beautiful, but not the most beautiful. There is another life, hard, rough, and thorny, trod- den with bleeding feet and aching brow ; the life of which the cross is the symbol ; a battle which no peace follows, this side the grave ; which the grave gapes to finish, be- fore the victory is won ; and — strange that it should be so — this is the highest life of man.
