What reading level is Lives of Eminent British Statesmen volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is, indeed, in his words, more English than the great writers of a century after him, who loaded their native tongue with expressions of Greek or Latin derivation. Cicero, speaking of old Cato, seems al- most to describe More. " His style is rather antiquated ; he has some words displeasing to our ears, but which were then in familiar use. Change those terms, which he could not, you will then prefer no speaker to Cato. "* But in the combination and arrangement of words, in ordinary phraseolo...gy and common habits of composition, he differs more widely from the style prevalent among us for nearly two centuries. His diction seems a continued experiment to discover the forms into which the language naturally runs. In that attempt he has frequently failed. Fortunate accident, or more varied experiment in after- times, led to the adoption of other combinations, which could scarcely have succeeded, if tliey had not been more consonant to the spirit of the language, and more agree- able to the ear and the feelings of the people.
