What reading level is Emile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

We must, therefore, choose what to teachas well as when to teach it. Some of the information within ourreach is false, some is useless, some merely serves to puff up itspossessor. The small store which really contributes to our welfarealone deserves the study of a wise man, and therefore of a childwhom one would have wise. He must know not merely what is, but whatis useful.
From this small stock we must also deduct those truths which requirea full grown mind for their understanding, those which
... suppose aknowledge of man's relations to his fellow-men--a knowledge whichno child can acquire; these things, although in themselves true, leadan inexperienced mind into mistakes with regard to other matters.
We are now confined to a circle, small indeed compared with thewhole of human thought, but this circle is still a vast sphere whenmeasured by the child's mind. Dark places of the human understanding, what rash hand shall dare to raise your veil? What pitfalls doesour so-called science prepare for the miserable child.
