What reading level is The Works of Walter Bagehot .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His biographer, while pointing out the strong contrast between Scott and the argumentative and parliament- ary statesmen of his age, avows his opinion that in other times, and with sufficient opportunities, Scott's ability in managing men would have enabled him to play "either the Cecil or the Gondomar."! We may see how much a suppressed enthusiasm for such abilities breaks out, not only in the description of hereditary monarchs, where the sentiment might be ascribed to a different origin, but ...also in the delinea- tion of upstart rulers who could have no hereditary sanctity in the eyes of any Tory. Eoland Graeme, in * Concluding chapter. '^ ■f If the Reform Bill of 1833 was carried ; said in the House of Lords, repeatedly during the debates. — Ed.
JLockhart, Vol. v., Chap, vlii., in re Scott's management of the High- land pageant on George IV. 's visit to Scotland. — Ed.
208 THE TRAVELERS INS. CO.'S BAGEHOT.
the " Abbot," is well described as losing in the pres- ence of the Eegent Murray the natural impertinence of his disposition: — "He might have braved with indifference the presence of an earl ntierely distin- guished by his belt and coronet ; but he felt over- awed in that of the eminent soldier and statesman, the wielder of a nation's power and the leader of her armies."* It is easy to perceive that the author shares the feeling of his hero, by the evident pleasure with which he dwells on the Regent's demeanor : — " He then turned slowly round towards Roland Graeme, and the marks of gayety, real or assumed, disappeared from his countenance as completely as the passing bubbles leave the dark mirror of a still profound lake into which a traveler has cast a stone; in the course of a minute his noble features had assumed their natural expression of a deep and even melancholy gravity."!
