What reading level is A Memoir of George Cruikshank book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a troop of lawless ruflBans let loose upon a populous city would play sad havoc in it ; and we fancy the massacres of Bir- mingham renewed, or at least of Badajoz, which, though not quite so dreadful, if we may believe his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as the former scenes of slaughter, were nevertheless severe enough ; but we must not venture upon any ill-timed pleasantries in 104 ESSAy OiV THE GENIUS OF presence of the disturbed King Arthur, and the awful ghost of Gaffer Thumb. We are th...us carried at once into the supernatural, and here we find Cruikshank reigning supreme. He has invented in his time a little comic pandemonium, peopled with the most droll, good-natured fiends possible. We have before us Chamisso's 'Peter Schlemihl,' with Cruikshank's designs translated into German, and gaining nothing by the change. The ' Kinder und GILES S GHOST. Haus Maerchen ' of Grimm are likewise ornamented with a frontispiece, copied from that one which appeared to the amus- ing version of the English work.
