What reading level is The Past And the Present a Discourse Delivered Before the Erosophic Society of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Will the- vague notions of Aristotle, comjoare with those of a Cuvier, a Herchell, a Watt, or a Franklin? Will the opinions of even Plato, in the scale of human benefits, rank with the systems of Nev^^ton, or Lock 1 Will the idea of one, that man is an untamable beast of prey, compare, in just sentiment, and benevolent feeling, with the mind that animated a Howard?
3. We pass from these enquiries to a consideration of constitutions and laws.
Take the case of Egypt — In Egypt all power of govern...ment was concentra- ted in a hereditary monarchy, which combined both civil and religious functions. If that country had judges and legislators, they were priests of a false re- ligion, dependant for appointment and compensation 23 on the pleasure of a King. The national tribunal was composed of men drawn from the same caste. It is easy to see that the political institutions of a country will be of the lowest order when administered by men whose station and pay depend on a head, himself the weak issue of hereditary descent; or a bold adven- turer, whose ambition is for conquest, whose pleasure is blood.
