What reading level is Living Questions of the Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If any one says that passages are so clustered together as to make them seem preposterous, we deny the im- peachment. Other results may be obtained by inferences from other passages, but the above is a fair and unavoidable result from one class of passages written in this volume.
And besides, there are single passages which are as preposterous in themselves as these are pnt together, and not only in this volume, but they are found in nearly all this class of writers.
In one of his Ten Sermons, ...for instance, the au- thor says of a fly, " Lo ! here I am an individual and conscious thing, sucking the bosom of the world." This is certainly hyperbole run mad; and is just about as ridiculous as it would be to say of the eminent Mr, Emerson; "Lo! there tie is, an individual and conscious philosophist, sucking transcendentalism from the great toe of the — man in the moon." Such nonsense produced by men of ability, 100 LIVING QUESTIONS OF THE AGE.
capable of writing eloquently, sensibly, and con- sistently, is only another evidence that without faith, the mind is like a ship without ballast, driven by contrary winds.
