What reading level is The Works of Voltaire a Contemporary Version With Notes volume 11 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They cite Lacedaemon; why do they not also cite the republic of San Ma- rino ? What benefit did Sparta do to Greece ? Had she ever a Demosthenes, a Sophocles, an Apelles, or a Phidias? The luxury of Athens formed great men of every description. Sparta had certainly some great captains, but even these in a smaller number than other cities. But allowing that a small republic like Lacedaemon may maintain its poverty, men uniformly die, whether they are in want of everything, or enjoying the variou...s means of render- ing life agreeable. The savage of Canada subsists and attains old age, as well as the English citizen who has fifty thousand guineas a year. But who will ever compare the country of the Iroquois to England ?
Let the republic of Ragusa and the canton of Zug enact sumptuary laws ; they are right in so doing. The poor must not expend beyond their means ; but I have somewhere read, that if par- tially injurious, luxury benefits a great nation upon the whole.
Sachez surtout que le luxe enrichit Un grand etat, s'il en perd un petit.
