What reading level is The Dial book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Balfour's character.
This firmness is not to be exploited. Even tragedy is questionable. A perfect type of the Brit- ish aristocrat has a kind of unobtrusive preference for the agreeable. " I personally like the Spring day, " Mr. Balfour says, in responding to a toast to literature, " and bright sun and the birds singing, and if there be a shower or a storm, it should be merely a passing episode in the landscape, to be fol- lowed immediately by a return of brilliant sun- shine. " It is not the ...Lear or Oedipus type. I know not how true it is, but there used to be a statement current, about the time Mr. Balfour was coming into prominence, that the most quoted book in the House of Commons was Alice in Wonderland, and surely there is no book that appeals more unques- tionably to a high and rather late culture. The fact that the House of Commons liked it so much is not unrelated to their love of Mr. Balfour, to whom human reasoning appears much as a grotesque. This type of mind has made him more formidable in destructive criticism than in positive propaganda or enactment, and it is fit that his most notable piece of writing should be entitled* A Defense of Philo- sophic Doubt.
