What reading level is A Memorial of the Rev. George Archibald Smith, A. M book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" My conscience is not at all at ease at my allowing these so flattering assumptions to pass unchallenged, but it is not easy to steer clear of the Scylla of self-depreciatioa, which is often but another form of self-laudation, and the Charybdis of accepting by silence undeserved praise. I feel, however, bound to make one statement, which will keep you from attributing an undue value to the knowledge of many languages, supposing I possessed it to the extent attributed to me by Miss Davison's in...dulgence, which I do not. In Turkey the knowledge of vari- ous languages is at a discount, belonging to the commonest acquisitions of the people. We had an old Jewish man servant who fluently conversed in twelve languages, several of which he read and wrote fairly well, yet I had often to make the observa- tion that he did not seem to have a single thought 'to blow himself with' in any of the twelve languages. To sum up all I wished to say to you, and to you all, I feel very grateful for all you have done for me, whatever be the exaggerated opinion you may have of my merits.
