What reading level is The Press And the Stage, An Oration book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You do not go to a newspaper for tuition in the languages and mathematics ; you go to a school. The province of the press is, first, to make a complete and truthful record of the news of the day, keeping always within the limits of decency and discretion ; and, secondly, to comment on that news in a rational, able, and vivacious manner, and in that vein of reflection, whatever it may be, which it is believed will most conduce to the public good.
With reference to the stage, its moral aspect, it...s intel- lectual quality, its spiritual drift, and its artistic and in- dustrial prosperity are the proper objects of attention.
Beyond this point the ministrations of the press are su- perfluous and may become injurious. Vanity is a prin- cipal agent in human affairs. Sheridan was undoubtedly right when he said that it ought to be numbered among the passions. Certainly it does not need encouragement.
No doctrine could be more ignorant in its oversight of inspiration, or more destructive in its ignoble influence upon human character, than the doctrine that considera- tion for the praise of critics should be valued and trusted as a main-spring of production or of excellence in any form of art.
