What reading level is A Discourse On the Life And Character of the Hon Nathaniel Bowditch Delivere book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first place, it seems to me there was something like a special providence in the capture of that library, consisting of such a peculiar class of books, by a Beverly vessel, and its being brought into the port of Salem rather than any other port in the United States. Here was apparent design, the fitting of means to ends. The books came exactly to the place where they were wanted; to the only place, probably, in the country where they were wanted. They came, too, at the right time, just i...n season to be used by the person who could make the best possible use of them, and to whom they were, above all com- putation, valuable and necessary. If this be not an act of Providence, I hardly know what is.
63 The good Dr. Kirwan* mourned, no doubt, over the loss of his books, and not least of all that they had become so utterly misplaced and useless. He probably thought that the vessel which contained them might as well have been wrecked on the coast of Africa, and the leaves of his philosophical works employed to adorn the heads and persons of the Caffres and Hottentots, a use to which we are told "The Practical Navigator" was once put by the inhabitants of one of the South Sea islands.
