What reading level is Studies in Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They aresolving some of our problems, but not under our conditions, and notin presence of the same difficulties. Still the effect of colonialprosperity--a prosperity alike of admirable achievement and boundlesspromise--is irresistible. It imparts a freedom, an elasticity, anexpansiveness, to English political notions, and gives our people aconfidence in free institutions and popular government, whichthey would never have drawn from the most eloquent assumptions ofspeculative system-mongers, nor... from any other source whatever, savepractical experience carefully observed and rationally interpreted. This native and independent rationality in men is what the jealousvotary of the historic method places far too low.
In coming closer to the main current of the book, our firstdisappointment is that Sir Henry Maine has not been very careful todo full justice to the views that he criticises. He is not altogetherabove lending himself to the hearsay of the partisan. He allowsexpressions to slip from him which show that he has not been anxiousto face the problems of popular government as popular government isunderstood by those who have best right to speak for it.
