What reading level is The Poems of Ossian volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
73 common to both, so each no doubt had formed a system of history, it matters not how much so- ever fabulous, concerning their respective origin. It \vas the natural policy of the times to recon- cile the traditions of both nations together, and, if possible, to reduce them from the same origi- ginal stock.
The Saxon manners and language had, at that time, m:ide great progress in the south of Scotland. The ancient language, and the tra- ditional history of the nation, became confined entirely ...to the inhabitants of the Highlands, then fallen, from several concurring circumstan- ces, into the last degree of ignorance and bar- barism. The Irish who, for some ages before the conquest, had possessed a competent share of that kind of learning which then prevailed in Europe, found it no difficult matter to impose their own fictions on the ignorant Highland se- nachies. By flattering the vanity of the High- landers with their long if- 1, of Heremonian kings and heroes, they, without contradiction, assu- med to themselves the character of being the mother nation of the Scots of Britain.
