What reading level is Works of Orville Dewey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
sanctity, self-sacrifice, love — is essentially the same in all. The magnanimity of he- ro€«^ celebrated on the historic or poetic page; the cqiiistancy and faith of the martyr, or the beautifulness of saintly love and pity, glowing on the canvass; the delineations pf truth and right that breathe life from the lips of the eloquent, are, in essence, only that which every man may fjeel and practice in the daily walks of life. If it is a nobler thing to be a hero than it is to describe one, to end...ure martyrdom than to paint it, to do right than to plead for it ; then is the work of virtue nobler than any work of genius. In this view Sir Walter Scott's idea, had he applied it to this point, is a just one ; that action is greater than writing. A g^ood man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. To be is greater than to describe. It has been said that "there are but two things worth living for ; to do what is worthy of being written, or to write what is worthy of being read." It is true; and I maintain that the greater of these is the doing, I desire no one to give too easy an assent to this pro- poffition^ I seek; radier for that difficult assent which yi^ds to argument, which ripens into conviction, and Digitized by VjOOQ IC 140 THE NATURE OP RELIGION.
