What reading level is The Ethic of Freethought And Other Addresses And Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How low our social spirit has faUen may be well measured by remark- ing how few recognise the immorality of cheating the State in any of its industrial departments, say the Post Office ; how nearly all regard the tax-gatherer with a feeling akin to that which mediaeval burghers bore to the city hangman. The man who goes whistling along, and with a heavy stick knocks off the ornamental ironwork in the Embankment Gardens, would think it highly immoral to whittle the arm- chair of his friend ; the... woman who encloses a letter inside a book-post packet would be indignant if you suggested that she was capable of picking her neighbour's pocket. Yet in both cases the offence against the State ought to be looked upon as a far graver matter than the offence against the individual. The clergyman who some years ago was detected cutting out engravings from the books of a great public library, ought to have been pilloried and publicly ejected from society ; yet the matter was hushed up, apparently because it was only an offence against the State.
