What reading level is Posthumous Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CLAIMS OF AFKICA. 871 IX. We urge our flea further : — On the score of Obligations and Gratitude, in view of the advantages derived from the ancestry of Africa.
Africa claims a high and an early origin, in the scale of empire. On this subject, we know not where to begin, or how to express ourselves. The recollections of history for four thousand years crowd upon us, and we shall not hesitate to avail ourselves of the views and language of philosophers and historians, moralists and poets, jurist...s and divines, from Herodotus and Homer down to Wilberforca and Watson, casting and coloring all, however, in the mold of our own reflections and feelings, and representing a wljole for which we alone are responsible. When Asia was a land of tents and shepherds, Greece a waste, Rome a desert, and the Western continent imkiiown in song or story, Africa rose the proud mother of nations, and the central source of civilization and social refinement!
It was once said, that " no good thing can come out of Nazareth : " and it is now thought, that the mere color of the African, places him under the general ban of nations, and renders preposterous and absurd the idea, that this race ever could have occupied a position of dignity, or contributed to the general advancement of the world.
