What reading level is Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - volume 12 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Goethe was always patting boys on the head and saying graceful things, and it is doubtful whether his prophecy was more than a merecommonplace. But Goethe always claimed it was divine prophecy. Theseboys were William and Alexander von Humboldt.
History does not supply another instance of two brothers attaining theintellectual height reached by Alexander and William von Humboldt. Thisbeing so, it seems meet that we should tarry a little to inspect themethod adopted in the education of these boys...--something that theeducated world for the most part has not done.
* * * * * This world of ours, round like an orange and slightly flattened at thepoles, has produced only five men who were educated. Of course alleducation is comparative; but these five are so beyond the rest ofmankind that they form a class by themselves.
An educated man means a developed man--a man rounded on every side ofhis nature. We are aware of no limit to which the mind of man mayevolve; other men may appear who will surpass the Immortal Five, butthis fact remains: none that we know have.
