What reading level is Religio Grammatici the Religion of a Man of Letters Being a Presidential Ad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Suppose, after great toil and the expenditure of much subtlety of intellect, you succeed in re-living the best works of the past, is that a desirable end ? Surely our busi- RELIGIO GRAMMATICI 21 ness is with the future and present, not with the past. If there is any progress in the world or any hope for struggling humanity, does it not lie precisely in shaking off the chains of the past and looking steadily forward ? " How shall we meet this question ? First, we may say, the chains of the min...d are not broken by any form of ignorance. The chains of the mind are broken by under- standing. And so far as men are unduly enslaved by the past it is by understanding the past that they may hope to be freed. But, secondly, it is never really the past — the true past — that enslaves us ; it is always the present. It is not the conventions of the seventeenth or eighteenth century that now make men conventional. It is the con- ventions of our own age ; though of course I would not deny that in any age there are always fragments of the uncomprehended past still floating, like dead things pretending to be alive.
