What reading level is An Account of Abimelech Coody And Other Celebrated Writers of New York in a Let book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I understand that the wits of New York had estab- lished a Button's Coffee House, in the celebrated Mead House near the intersection of Pine and Wil- liam streets, and I often attempted to gain admit- tance into their sanctum sanctorum, but I unfortu- nately never could succeed. This was a kind of lite rary free masonry, which shut its doors against the profane; but their enemies did not scruple to assert that this exclusion was intended to conceal the poverty of their knowledge, and their want... of con- versation talents, and at the same time to envelope themselves in mysterious importance, and I have heard them more than once compared to the Ugly Club, which, as it is composed of the handsomest young gentlemen in the city, so the Club of pro- fessed wits is said to be made up of the greatest dunces that could be selected. But I was determin- ed not to make up a definite opinion until I could gain access to the celebrated Abimelech Coody, and after finding him as difficult to approach as the phi- 13 losopber of Ferney, I at length had the pleasure of seeiug him.
