What reading level is Essays in Miniature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The second epigram is quite as disconsolate and more vengeful in its tone : "The domestic cat which has eaten my partridge flatters himself that he is still to live under my roof. No, dear bird, I will not leave thee unavenged, but on thy grave will I slay thy murderer. For thy shade, which roams tormented, cannot be quieted until I shall have done that which Pyrrhus did upon the grave of Achilles. " As if these direful threats were not enough, Damocharis, a disciple of Agathias, follows up t...he case with a third epigram in which he be- wails the cruelty of the cat, and compares it with burning eloquence to one of Aktaeon's hounds, which devoured its own master. " Here is a pretty pother about a partridge ! " protests M. Champfleury, with the pardonable irritation of one who is wont to deal leniently with the shortcomings of his favorite animal, and who fails to sympathize with this excess of grief.
188 OLD WORLD PETS Pet partridges, indeed, are hardly in accord with modern taste, which is apt to regard them from the same simple point of view as did the cat of Agathias.
