What reading level is Twenty-Two Essays of William Hazlitt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Liberty (the philosopher's and the poet's bride) had fallen a 5 victim, meanwhile, to the murderous practices of the hag, Legitimacy. Proscribed by court-hirelings, too romantic for the herd of vulgar politicians, our enthusiast stood at bay, and at last turned on che pivot of a subtle casuistry to the unclean side: but his discursive reason would not let him 10 trammel himself into a poet-laureate or stamp-distributor; and he stopped, ere he had quite passed that well-known "bourne from whence... no traveller returns" — and so has sunk into torpid, uneasy repose, tantalized by useless re- sources, haunted by vain imaginings, his lips idly moving, 15 but his heart forever still, or, as the shattered chords vibrate of themselves, making melancholy music to the ear of mem- ory! Such is the fate of genius in an age when, in the unequal contest with sovereign wrong, every man is ground to powder who is not either a born slave, or who does not willingly and 20 at once offer up the yearnings of humanity and the dic- tates of reason as a welcome sacrifice to besotted prejudice and loathsome power.
