What reading level is Lectures to Young Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I know business men who cannot tell where the places with which they trade are situated, and who cannot write a commercial letter without violations both of good grammar and correct spelling. It would be no disgrace to them, I think, to have Murray and Webster within reach. To a shallow mind this may seem boy's work, but if you will read the lives of the most eminent scholars, you will find that they are always learners. The best educated man must frequently return to the rudiments of knowledge..., to see that the foundation is well laid. How much more is such a course needful to those who have never gone beyond a common school education, and to whom even that was very imperfect. Such is the case with the great majority of young men who enter upon business. They are not beyond the necessity of schooling. They need elementary instruction. They are uninformed upon subjects upon which contin- ued ignorance is inexcusable. They are not to 80 LEISURE TIME. Blame for this ; but they are to blame if they take no pains to supply the acknowledged de ficiency.
