What reading level is Boswells Life of Johnson volume 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" "If that were the case (said Johnson), and that he only wanted to alarm Steele, he would afterwards have re- turned the money to his friend, which it is not pretended he did. " " This, too (he added), might be retorted by an advocate for Steele, who might allege, that he did not repay the loan intentionally, merely to see whether Addison would be mean and ungenerous enough to make use of legal process to recover it. But of such speculations there is no end ; we cannot dive into the hearts of ...men ; but their actions are open to obser- vation, 'I then mentioned to him that some people thought that Mr. Addison's character was so pure, that the fact, though true, ought to have been suppressed. He saw no reason for this. " If nothing but the bright side of characters should be shown, we should sit down in despondency, and think it utterly impossible to imitate them in anything. The sacred writers (he observed) related the vicious as well as the virtuous actions of men; which had this moral effect, that it kept mankind from despair, into which otherwise they would naturally fall, were they not supported by the recollection that others had offended like themselves, and by penitence and amendment of life had been restored to the favour of Heaven.
