What reading level is Things Worth Thinking About a Series of Lectures Upon Literature And Culture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
87 lies a danger of hasty conclusion. One might, in his haste, point to a boy who is learning chemistry, and tell us how that boy will at some time be able to do something with his knowledge. He will become an analyst, perhaps an inventor at least, an applier of useful chemical processes. And if the question is asked, What is the boy who is studying literature going to do, what is he going to make or invent or apply in a material, tangible way ? and if the answer thereto is to decide the whole ...question of education, then the students of literature have indeed a poor case to rely upon. The fruits of scientific instruction are so speedy and so tangible, and the fruits of literary education are so slow and so abstract in their nature, that I never wonder at the ignorant or the narrow- minded coming to what is called the Philistine con- clusion on the question. But I do wonder at persons who call themselves statesmen doing the same.
And though this fact of " quick returns " is a truth which no sane being would deny, we may make a very serious qualification.
