To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never lived there a man more idolized. Every- thing about him was imitated and extolled : his spectacles, his Martin fur cap, his brown coat, his bamboo cane. Man carried their canes and their snuff boxes a la Franklin^ women crowned him with flowers, and every patrician house in Paris showed a Franklin portrait on the wall, and a Franklin stove in one of the apartments. When Voltaire and FrankHn kissed each other in the hall of the Academy, enthusiastic sages and tribunes thundered their appla...use — "behold Solon and Sophocles embrace." It is impossible to trace in a few words the growth of Franklin's vast European reputation. It rested primarily upon his scientific achievement. The eighteenth century was restlessly curious about natural phenomena, audacious in inquiry, and scep- tical in philosophical speculation. It recognized and welcomed in Franklin a sagacious clear-sighted ob- server who had explored strange worlds of thought and wrung new and tremendous secrets from nature's close reserve.
