What reading level is Lay Morals, And Other Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They rise from the ruins of one abortive sentence, to launch forth into another with unabated vigour. They have all the manner of an orator. From the tone of their voice, you would expect a splendid period — and lo! a string of broken-backed, disjointed clauses, eked out with stammerings and throat-clearings. They possess the art (learned from the pulpit) of rounding an un- euphonious sentence by dwelling on a single syllable — of striking a balance in a top-heavy period by lengthening "out a w...ord into a melancholy quaver.
Withal, they never cease to hope. Even at last, even when they have exhausted all their ideas, even after the would-be peroration has finally refused to pero- rate, they remain upon their feet with their mouths open, waiting for some further inspiration, like Chaucer's widow's son in the dung-hole, after "His throat was kit unto the nekke bone," in vain expectation of that seed that was to be laid upon his tongue, and give him renewed and clearer utterance.
134 COLLEGE PAPERS These men may have something to say, if they could only say it — indeed they generally have; but the next class are people who, having nothing to say, are cursed with a facility and an unhappy command of words, that makes them the prime nuisances of the society they affect.
