What reading level is The Wrongs of Man a Satire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The enlightened and liberal course pursued by the underlings of despotism ; and is much of a piece with that other state trick which endeavours to cajole the dying malefactor into an assent to the justice of his execution. Methinks conscience and fear must cry loudly against the wretches who find it necessary to resort to such abominable practices.
11 " Men seldom became slaves till they are unworthy to be free : till all the noble virtues of society are expelled as Utopian and impracticable,... and servility and venality have tainted the human character to the core. " Shee's Elements of' Art.
12 THE WRONGS OF MAN.
In vain, in vain, Example warns the times, We court destruction, and delight in crimes ; The lords of men, by lucre led away, Lead by prescription all mankind astray. All laugh at equity, and hope to rise By means which each should fly from and despise. No spark of glory animates the age ; No guilt, however great, provokes our rage. A sullen stillness sits on every soul ; But soon, yes, soon, shall awful vengeance roll ; Soon shall the shafts of Indignation fly, And doom each dread incendiary to die.
