What reading level is History [a Lecture Delivered At Columbia University in the Series On Science, Philosophy And Art, January 15, 1908] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To scan the past with the hope of discovering recipes for the making of statesmen and war- riors, of discrediting the pagan gods, of showing that Cath- olic or Protestant is right, of exhibiting the stages of self- realization of the Weltgeist, or demonstrating that Liberty emerged from the forests of Germany never to return thither,— none of these motives are scientific although they may go hand in hand with much sound scholarship. But by the middle of the nineteenth century the muse of histor...y, semper mutahile, began to fall under the potent spell of natural science. She was no longer satisfied to celebrate the deeds of heroes and nations with the lyre and shrill flute on the breeze-swept slopes of Helicon ; she no longer durst attempt to vindicate the ways of God to man. She had already come to recognize that she was ill-prepared for her undertakings and had begun to spend her mornings in the library, collating manuscripts and making out lists of variant readings. She aspired to do even more and began to talk of raising her chaotic mass of information to the rank of a science.
