What reading level is The Works of Francis Thompson volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Far more, in our opinion, must it be said that the whole of English physical science must acknowledge Bacon as its very Adam and pro- genitor. Not because Bacon was himself a great 190 BACON physical investigator ; but because he first pointed out the aims and the temper of the physical investigator. Cowley stated the truth, with the usual perspicacity of the poet. Bacon did not enter the Promised Land, but he had the vision of it, and pointed the way to it. His whole aim was to start a new phi...losophical school, which should antithesize the philosophy of the scholastics and the ancients by proceed- ing from without inwards, instead of from within outwards ; from phenomena to essence, not from essence to phenomena. Physical in- vestigation was but a branch of this new depar- ture, as he conceived it. Yet, in laying down this principle, he unwittingly became the patriarch of our modern scientists. Huxley was bred from his loins, and men greater in physical science than Huxley. This, we unhesitatingly aver, seems to us a greater achievement than the authorship of the British school of philo- sophy.
