What reading level is The Mid-Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hume is often admirable as a correspondent. Yet the eminence of none of these three, nor yet of Gibbon, would be sen- sibly less had their letters perished with them. In Walpole and Chesterfield, however, we have two men whose chief claim to literary distinction lies in their command of a once honoured, though now unprac- tised, art; and in Gray we have a third whose pos- session of the same gift is a not unimportant adminicle of his fame.
The first step towards collecting the correspondence of... Gray^ was taken by his intimate friend, William Works, ed. Gosse, 4 vols., 1884 ; Letters, ed. Tovey, vol. i. 1900.
MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE. 305 Mason, whose Memoir (1775) of the poet consists of a number of his letters interspersed with passages of biographical narrative and com- ment. The art of full-dress biography had not yet been discovered, though its inventor was then busily engaged in the accumulation of his materials. Nevertheless, Mason's is a praiseworthy work, with a faint anticipa- tion of Boswell's manner.
