What reading level is The School of Hellas An Address Before the Virginia Classical Association Rich book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are considered "hard" books, but nothing is really hard if curiosity is awakened and stimulated, and I hold that the awaken- ing of intellectual curiosity is the real object of education.
In Milner's Life of Isaac Watts there is a letter from Thomas Seeker, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, written in 1711 from a school kept at Tewkesbury by one Samuel Jones, the son of a Welsh minister who had emigrated to America but had sent his son to Leyden University. There were then sixteen stud...ents under Jones' care, including, besides Seeker, Joseph Butler who became the author of the most famous volume of English theology, and five others who attained distinction. Making all allowance for the natural parts of these boys, it is evident that they had the advantage of a real educa- tion and that this counted in their careers. According to Seeker's letter, the students rose at five o'clock; they spoke Latin "except when below-stairs amongst the family" ; every day they turned two verses of the Hebrew Bible into Greek; twice a week they read Isoc- rates and Terence; for logic they went over "the far greater part of Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding" In the afternoon, after a lecture on Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, "we read a chapter in the Greek Testament, and after that Mathematics.
