What reading level is Notes of a Professional Exile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is able, learned, and virtuous.
Along with his virtue there is also a certain worldly prudence : because he is honest he is not therefore going to be a fool.
But he is a passionate prig. He has been all his life a professor, and has a trait often to be met with in teachers : he cannot help instructing you. It is true that his tone is one of great sim- plicity and modesty; but it is an enforced simplicity. You perceive in him a feeling that it is a praiseworthy thing in so wise a person to be... so catholic and unpretentious. I believe that he is half conscious of this defect, and encourages and cul- 87 tivates his simplicity; but he does this to Httle purpose ; it has be- come a necessity of his nature that his way of thinking shall override yours. That so great a man should be the victim of such a fault seems odd. A per- son of the highest culture and virtue, W — — would, of course, wish his conduct to be gov- erned by reason. But what has his pride of opinion to do with the subject he may be discuss- ing?
