What reading level is Captains of Industry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His exhibitions attracted attention, and they led at length to theCrystal Palace Exhibition of 1851. The merit of that scheme must beshared between Henry Cole and Prince Albert. Cole suggested that hissmall exhibitions should, once in five years, assume a nationalcharacter, and invite contributions from all parts of the empire. Yes, said Prince Albert, and let us also invite competition from foreigncountries on equal terms with native products.
The Exhibition of 1851 was admirably managed, and ...had every kind ofsuccess. It benefited England more than all other nations put together, because it revealed to her people their inferiority in many branchesboth of workmanship and design. We all know how conceited people are aptto become who have no opportunity to compare themselves with superiors. John Bull, never over-modest, surveyed the Exhibition of 1851, anddiscovered, to his great surprise, that he was not the unapproachableBull of the universe which he had fondly supposed. He saw himself beatenin some things by the French, in some by the Germans, in others by theItalians, and in a few (O wonder!) by the Yankees.
