What reading level is Self-Cultivation in English book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would put every man who is now employing a diction merely local and per- sonal in command of the approved resources of the English language. Our poverty usually comes through provinciality, through accepting without criticism the habits of our special set. My family, my immediate friends, have a diction of their own. Plenty of other words, recognized as sound, are known to be current in books, and to be em- ployed by modest and intelligent speakers, only we do not use them. Our set has never ...said "diction," or "current," or " scope," or "scanty," or "hitherto," or "convey," or "lack." Far from unusual as these words are, to adopt them might seem to set me apart from those whose intellec- tual habits I share. From this I shrink. I do not like to wear clothes suitable enough for others, but not in the style of my own plain circle. Yet if each one of that circle does the same, the general shabbiness is increased. The talk of all is made narrow enough to fit the thinnest there.
What we should seek is to contribute to each of the little companies with which our life is bound up a gently enlarging influence, such impulses 23 SELF-CULTIVATION as will not startle or create detachment, but which may save from humdrum, routine, and dreary usualness.
