What reading level is Pictures of Europe, Framed in Ideas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is difficult, however, for one, native here and never abroad, to realize how old the world is, — every thing about him is so fresh, and significant of progress and recent enterprise. In other lands he is carried back, — travelling on the line of time as well as space, — till even the ancient names of the Scripture chronology have a more vivid meaning as he traces for himself branch after branch of the hu- man, genealogical tree. Gazing long at monuments, dim epitaphs, half-effaced inscriptio...ns, moss-grown walls, and ruined towers, the features are revealed of the longevity of mankind ; and he feels, as never here, that he is walking over the ashes of buried generations. The " earth sounds hollow to his tread." That Eastern side of the globe appears a vast sepulchre ; while the Western, in relation to it, is an immense cradle. In many places, accordingly, decrepitude, beyond any sign of flourishing, is in the whole figure of that foreign existence. Often decay is the prevailing aspect of the scene ; not decay in the fields and forests^ but of institutions and em- pires, to which Nature herself looks young.
