What reading level is Irish Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


I would be understood as speaking here of exceptions rather than the rule; for the rule is rather the other way. The Catholic re- ligion, the most fundamental fact in Ireland, The Mistake of Ireland 143 is itself a permanent communication with the Continent. So, as I have said, is the free peasantry which is so often the economic ex- pression of the same faith. Mr. James Stephens, himself a spiritually detached man of genius, told me with great humour a story which is also at least a symbol. A
...Catholic priest, after a convivial conversation and plenty of good wine, said to him confi- dentially: "You ought to be a Catholic.
You can be saved without being a Catholic; but you can't be Irish without being a Catholic." Nevertheless, the exceptions are large enough to be dangers; and twice lately, I think, they have brought Ireland into danger.
This is the age of minorities; of groups that rule rather than represent. And the two largest parties in Ireland, though more repre- sentative than most parties in England, were too much affected, I fancy, by the modern fashion, expressed in the world of fads by being Celtic rather than Catholic.
