What reading level is The Crown of Wild Olive: Four Lectures On Industry And War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 77 neglect, a class among the lower orders which it is now peculiarly difHcult to govern. It deservedly lost their respect — but that was the least part of the mischief. The deadly part of it was, that the lower orders lost their habit, and at last their faculty, of respect ;— lost the very capability of reverence, which is the most precious part of the human soul. Exactly in the degree in which you can find creatures greater than yourself, to look up to, in that degree, you are ennobled your...self, and, in that degree, happy. If you could live always in the presence of archangels, you would be happier than in that of men ; but even if only in the company of admirable knights and beautiful ladies, the more noble and bright they were, and the more you could reverence their virtue, the happier you would be. On the contrary, if you were condemned to live among a multitude of idiots, dumb, distorted and malicious, you would not be happy in the constant sense of your own superiority. Thus all real joy and power of progress in humanity depend on finding something to reverence, and all the baseness and misery of humanity begin in a habit of disdain.
