What reading level is Remarks On the Use And Abuse of Some Political Terms book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After some time, mankind learnt, by observing some of the lower animals, to imitate their ways; and having thus invented the arts of social life, upon the same model they formed societies under an established government.
Such is an outUne of this puerile theory of the progress of society ; untenable from its self- contradictions, even as a hypothesis, and dis- tinctly refiited by facts : a theory which could only have arisen from the distempered imagi- nation of some day-dreamer, and could only... have been tolerated by a blind ignorance or wilful neglect of all history. Pictures of this description may delight the mind, when pre- sented to it in an avowedly poetical and fe- bulous shape, as in the Greek legends of ^ the golden age ; but when introduced into a didactic poem, or a philosophical system of government, they shock the reason without amusing the fancy.
* This supposition implies a change in the nature of heasts, as well as of man : for beasts avoid man, and prey upon him, which have never been subject to his attacks.
