What reading level is The Drift of Romanticism Shelburne Essays Eighth Series book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The difference between them does not lie in their loyalty or disloyalty to evidence per se, but in the kind of evidence from which they start ; nor has Huxley, so far as I know, ever shown, or even seriously tried to show, that the inner evidence which gives us the sense of moral lib- Ierty and responsibility, of sin and holiness, is less logically trustworthy than the evidence of the eye and the ear.
That is the weakness of agnosticism as defined by its inventor, but it has a compensating ad- ...vantage. As actually used by him it is at once a sword of offence and a buckler of safety ; per- mitting the most truculent dogmatism when the errors of an enemy are to be exposed and the most elusive scepticism when the enemy charges in return. Indeed, an agnostic might briefly and not unfairly be defined as a dogmatist in attack and a sceptic in defence, which is but another way of calling him a sophist. With what dexter- ity Huxley wielded this double weapon may be seen in his use of the great question of scientific HUXLEY 213 law.
