What reading level is The Retrospective Review book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

rejecting the most atfecting, the most pathetic, the most poetical, and, what is more, the most pious and de- vout service which human lips can utter to the Deity. The pure and unmixed love of God will never be so fervent, as that reliance on his Providence, which is mingled with human feel- ings. This is the true secret of the fervent piety of Fenelon, and the mystics of his and all religions. Filled with ardent benevolence to mankind ; or, as is a more common case, with passionate regret for ...departed friends, or equally passionate regard for living ones ; they mingle this feeling in^their prayers, and call it all love of God. The observation is any thing but new ; we believe it to be jinquestionably accurate. Even in the barbarous jargon of the Catholic service, it is diflScult, it is impossible, to hear without emotion this pious prayer, and much more to utter it : — ** Suscipe sacrificium, Domine, quod tibi pro anim^ matris meee offero; eique gaudium sempiternum in regione vivonim concede; meque cum ilUj felicitati sanctorum conjunge." " Accept, O Lord, this sacrifice which I offer for the soul of my mother; grant that she may partake of everlasting joy in the Land of the living, and that I may rejoin her in the happiness of thy sainto !** Digitized by LjOOQIC 86 The Sacrifice of the Mass.
