What reading level is Plain Thoughts On the Art of Living; Designed for Young Men And Women book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the pursuit of one branch of study to the neglect of other branches is a very dif- ferent thing from the development of one part of the nature to the neglect of the rest. Because of the shortness of life and the preciousness of knowledge, we may approve the devotion of the scientific ex- plorer. Though he has but a single aim, it is a noble one, and we bid him God speed in the pursuit of it.
Besides, he is not a man who despises breadth of culture. Though his life is given mainly to one stu...dy, he does not neglect opportunities that come to him of increasing his knowledge of other matters.
He is constantly hungering for other truth besides this of which he is in search ; and though he may feel that he cannot go far out of the path he has marked out for himself, to glean in other fields, yet whatever comes within his reach he greedily appro- priates. I suppose such a man as Agassiz must feel, at times, that the life he has chosen for himself is a life of painful self-denial. Other paths of study, in which he knows he could find abundant pleasure, stand invitingly open, and he cannot refuse to enter Health and Physical Culture.
