What reading level is Man Primeval, Or, the Constitution And Primitive Condition of the Human ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

To class desire with the prospective emotions is to confound it with hope, an emotion of the second division, and relating to the attainableness of an object ; whereas, desire, like surprise or admiration, knows no future any more than it does a past « It arises from good considered simply," and re- spects only t^e quality of objects. On the other hand, those of the secondary division are related to time, for, as attainable or unattainable, they respect the future ; as possessed, the present ; ...as lost, the past. Each division alike may be characterized as agreeable or disagreeable ; but with this important distinction, that while the primary and immediate emotions are essentiaUy agreeable or the reverse, the secondary are such only in a rda- tive sense. The character of the former is carried over to the latter, and determines whether the perception of our relation to their objects shall occasion hope or fear, joy or sorrow.
24 And, further, it is important to remark, as harmonizing with our distinction between man as the being to whom, and the being to and by whom, the Divine manifestation is made, t^iat the division which we have denominated as primary, im- mediate, and essentially agreeable, belongs to man as viewed in the former light, and that the secondary division is affirm- able of him as viewed in the latter respect It is easy to con- ceive of a human being as successively experiencing each class of emotions belonging to the former division, and yet remain- ing a stranger to hope or fear, to joy or sorrow, in relation to any of the specific objects of those classes.
