What reading level is Parts of Speech; Essays On English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps a wedding within the prohibited degrees may be allowed to pass without protest now and again ; but sooner or later somebody will surely forbid the banns.
Just as a misplaced accent or a supernumerary syllable gives us a shock, so does the attempt of Mrs. Browning to pair off remember and chamber ; so may also the attempt of Poe to link together valleys and palace. The lapse from the perfect ideal may be but a trifle, but a lapse it is never- theless. A certain percentage of our availabl...e attention may thus be wasted, and worse than wasted; it may be called away from the poem itself, and absorbed suddenly by the mere versi- fication. For a brief moment we may be forced to consider a defect of form, when we ought to have our minds absolutely free to receive the poet's meaning. Whenever a poet cheats us of our expectancy of perfect rime, he forces us to pay exorbitant freight charges on the gift he has presented to us.
It is to be noted, however, that as rime is a matching of sounds, certain pairs of words whose union is not beyond reproach can hardly be re- jected without pedantry, since the ordinary pro- nunciation of cultivated men takes no account of the slight differences of sound audible if the words are uttered with absolute precision.
