What reading level is The Works of Edmund Burke book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These certainly were highly REVOLUTION IN FRANCE. 287 respected, and even with no small degree of awe.
The next rank was not much esteemed ; the mechan- ical part was in a very low degree of repute.
Whenever the supreme authority is vested in a body so composed, it must evidently produce the con- sequences of supreme authority placed in the hands of men not taught habitually to respect themselves, — who had no previous fortune in character at stake, — who could not be expected to bear with mode...ration or to conduct with discretion a power which they themselves, more than any others, must be surprised to find in their hands. Who could flatter himself that these men, suddenly, and as it were by en- chantment, snatched from the humblest rank of sub- ordination, would not be intoxicated with their un- prepared greatness ? Who could conceive that men who are habitually meddling, daring, subtle, active, of litigious dispositions and unquiet minds, would easily fall back into their old condition of obscure contention, and laborious, low, and unprofitable chi- cane?
