What reading level is Serious Hours of a Young Lady book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theheart is a near neighbor of the imagination, and the latter oftenallures the former by its charms. Its activity is often developed andexercised at the expense of the will, by diminishing and enfeeblingthe power and influence of the latter. It not unfrequently happensthat the heart becomes the seat of dangerous illusions, when it notonly favors, but even indulges in that tender and sensible piety, which is founded on and fed by lively sentiments and beautifulimages. In this state it costs no ...little effort to will and act.
The reading of a pious book, the meditating on the mysteries of thepassion and death of our Saviour will melt the heart to tenderness. Thus, nature has a greater share than grace in piety and fervor ofthis stamp. Self-complacency and self-love are here most adroitlyconcealed under the garb of humility, and it requires a rare sagacityto discover their presence. The Christian soul in this state seeksnot to please God or others, but it seeks rather its own pleasure, and for many women this kind of piety is a form of affectation andvanity.
