What reading level is The Life And Light of Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a patent fact, make of it what we may, but it is a fact very sufficiently based in truth and justice. It is only right to cherish and to express respect for genuine excellence, wherever it is found. It is only right to keep alive in ourselves and others the memory of such excellence ; and when the good man has passed away, it would be a crime not to guard his name with tender jealousy, and not to deal lovingly, for his sake, with those whom he leaves behind. On the other hand, it is only ...right to visit crime with reprobation, to maintain a salutary dread of coming into contact with it, and to avoid those who may be conc^eived to have inherited its taint. But all the while, it is never to be forgotten, as an unassailable principle, that real moral worth and real moral demerit are not, and cannot be in any sense or in any degree, transferable or imputable. No rightly constituted mind imagines for a moment that they are ; the idea is not only false, but impossible and absurd. If there be, as we have seen there is, an inevitable imputation, whereby men are often involved indis- criminately in the same external good or evil ; and if there be, besides, an instinctive imputation of 190 JUSTIFICATION AND IMPUTATION.
