What reading level is Nuts And Chestnuts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He came at last to look upon genius with an odd sort of suspicion ; I have even been told that, if he had repub- lished his book on Hereditary Genius he might have substituted the title of Hereditary Talent.
" Great geniuses," says Jowett, " often seem to have uncontrollable fits of intellectual and moral energy, called forth by occasion or necessity, and then to sink back in a kind of exhaustion." Here are indicated the waywardness and the fragility of genius on which Galton looked with a sort... of dread. He once said to me paradoxically about Napoleon that he was " above morality," by which he doubtless meant no more than Rochefoucauld meant by saying " II n'appartient qu'aux grands hommes d'avoir de grands defauts." I gathered from conversations with him that his view and mine on this matter were identical ; and, as the subject seems to me important in itself, and espe- cially so in relation to his philosophy, I will set it forth more fully, taking Byron as my object-lesson.
But I must first make an admission — Jowett once told me that he looked on Byron as altogether " a finer man than Shelley " ^ ; and it is possible that, partly as a disciple of Jowett, and partly perhaps ' I am assured that Lord Jolm Eussell, being consulted by Moore as to whether he should write the Life of Byron, advised him to do so by all means, but on no account to write that of Shelley, for whose character and career he seems, like Jowett, to have felt a somewhat extravagant dislike.
