What reading level is Alexandre Vattemare: His Service in Connection With the Boston City Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the old story of jealousy, and unwillingness or inability to co-operate on the part of those whom circumstances had placed in posi- tions of authority. But repulse came to a man who was hard- ened to it, and who would cling all the more tenaciously to an idea with which his personality had become identified. After six more years of unremitted effort for the diffusion of knowl- edge, Mr. Vattemare returned to Boston, and succeeded in es- tablishing the free public library that he was dete...rmined that we should have.
44 The foundation of the noble municipal library which now adorns the city of Boston," writes Mr. Edward Edwards in his 44 History of Free Town Libraries," " may be traced to the year 1847 as the date of its virtual commencement, although for more than three years after that date the initiatory steps were not very actively or successfully followed up." Chief among these initiatory steps, which the historian truly declares founded the library, was that taken by Alexandre Vattemare, who brought a.valuable collection of books from the city of Paris, and made an urgent appeal to the municipal authorities to take immediate measures for the establishment of the free library which should adorn Boston.
