What reading level is The Two Paths : Being Lectures On Art, And Its Application to Decoration And Manufacture, Delivered in 1858-9 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You all should be, in a certain sense, authors: you must, indeed, first catch the public eye, as an author must the pub- lic ear ; but once gain your audience, or observance, and as it is in the writer's power thenceforward to publish what will educate as it amuses — so it is in yours to publish what will educate as it adorns. Nor is this surely a subject of poor ambition. I hear it said continually that men are too am- bitious : alas ! to me, it seems they are never enough ambi- tious. How man...y are content to be merely the thriving merchants of a state, when they might be its guides, coun- sellors, and rulers — wielding powers of subtle but gigantic beneficence, in restraining its follies while they supplied its wants. Let such duty, such ambition, be once accepted in their fulness, and the best glory of European art and of European manufacture may yet be to come. The paintings of Raphael and of Buonaroti gave force to the falsehoods of superstition, and majesty to the imaginations of sin ; but the arts of England may have, for their task, to inform the soul with truth, and touch the heart with compassion.
