What reading level is The Age a Colloquial Satire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Behold another innocent designed To swell some massacre of infant mind. The crowd, the crush, of books is now so great, Of inky rags earth groans beneath the weight, And ofttimes sore remonstrates with her fate : While mobs of mimic bards, before our eyes, The "wilderness of monkeys" realise.
FRIEND.
Here with my learned brother I concur ; For books one scarcely can with comfort stir E 2 52 THE AGE From house to house. The nonsense they contain Breeds, doubtless, poly mania in the brain.
AUTHOR....
Why we may not as reasonably produce New books, as Nature new things for our use, When winter wanes, and slowly greening woods Make dim the distant view through thickening buds, I cannot see. Tor every time and place Hath special want and aptitude and case, Which leaves for just supply an ample space.
FRIEND.
Three hundred volumes, somewhat more or less, Would hold the best of treasures we possess ; Of course, we don't suppose oracular Argo, Beside her heroes, took superfluous cargo ; My view has been to private use confined, Just noting founts of thought and crowns of mind ; To know which braces both the feeblest powers, And strains the strength of strongest minds (like ours) ; Who books amasses, piles for future Goths Their fires ; or caters but for worms and moths.
