What reading level is Lectures And Essays volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Swift looked out upon the world of political society, or at least upon such as came within his range, he saw, what Bishop Butler saw, and adopted as the text of his great work some thirty years later, namely, that " Religion had come to be not even an open question, but was finally exploded. " But Swift's mind and genius were widely different from Butler's. It was not for him to champion the forsaken cause with any such weapons as the great bishop. He had not the equipment, nor the patience,... nor the adequate sympathy. When, in the remarkable treatise we are now to consider, he poured the vials of his scorn upon the light-hearted freethinkers about him, it was not so much, it may be argued, from jealousy for an outraged faith as from the depth of his scorn for the outragers. Strange as it may SWIFT— HIS LIFE AND GENIUS 219 sound, the fact that the wits and men of fashion, of whom he saw most in London, affected con- tempt for the established religion would be to Swift the strongest argument for believing that such religion was true.
