What reading level is The Scientific Spirit of the Age: And Other Pleas And Discusions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the former it opens a book of poetry, which they follow word for word after the performer, as if he read it to them, thinking the thoughts of the composer in succession with scarcely greater uncertainty or vagueness than if they were expressed in verbal language of a slightly mystical descrip- tion. To the latter the book is closed; but though the listener's own thoughts unroll THOUGHTS ABOUT THINKING 123 themselves uninterrupted by the composer's ideas, they are very considerably colored th...ereby. " I delight in music, " said once Sir Charles Lyell to me : " I am always able to think out my work better while it is going on ! " As a matter of fact, he resumed at the moment a disquisition concerning the date of the Glacial Period at the precise point at which it had been interrupted by the per- formance of a symphony of Beethoven, having evidently mastered in the interval an intricate astronomical knot. To ordinary mortals with similar deficiency of musical sense, harmonious sound seems to spread a halo like that of light, causing every subject of contemplation to seem glorified, as a landscape appears in a dewy sun- rise.
