What reading level is Life And Letters of Alexander Macmillan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Essays ^ are too vague, and in many places — from a rather cursory reading — seem to me too negative, and might well be met on the side of — ^what is called — orthodoxy by calm argument, and proved to be wrong. But this indiscriminating howl against all but stereotyped utterance, against all living thought and speech, has dangers on all sides, and should be steadily exposed — and I think without much delay and with not too bated breath. The reaction in all minds outside the narrow influence... of the ortho- doxies will be fearful, and hesitating doubt will harden into sneering scepticism. One sees symptoms of this already everywhere. The method of counter-protests appears to me likely to prove singularly inoperative, and so far as I can judge ought not on any accoimt to be resorted to. When was truth ever voted into acceptance ^ Besides, the votes wovdd be twenty to one against it. . . .
A week earlier we find him suggesting to Temple, then Headmaster of Rugby, that he should make a collection of his school sermons, and at the end of March he was moved to reply vigorously to a country parson in Oxfordshire who had written to protest against the ' Of Essays on Theology.
