What reading level is The Truly Great: a Discourse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He will sometimes display a vulgar obstinacy, a coarse dogmatism, and be apt to run either into a weak superstition, or a matter-of-fact materialism. His intellec- tual vision may be clear, may be intense in the line of its direction, but it lacks scope, and variety of view. His mind runs in a narrow and powerful current of personal convic- tion, but has not the expanse and the liberal overflow of an intelligent sympathy. In him are the strong roots of an honest determination, but not the rich ...and flowering graces of charity, knowledge and love. Only the mind which has run the whole circle of attainment, which communes with all forms of truth, which is continually open to the light, and thus drawing nourishment from every source, becomes rich, fruitful, genial ; only such a mind is qualified for a great work in all its issues.
But, to complete the character of a great man, there is needed yet a higher element — Moral Principle ; absolute love and reverence for the Right. He only is the great man, who, with uncompromising energy, maintains the righteous principle which his knowledge discerns.
