What reading level is Life of Timothy Dexter Embracing Sketches of the Eccentric Characters That Comp book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some way or other Dexter and his family were constantly, for several years, before the public ; for every thing they did was noticed. The common currents of life make a smooth surface, and attract but lit- tle attention ; but on those waters where are seen a few ripples and whirlpools the eye is constantly direct'ed ; and it is no great mat- ter to the observer whether their agitations are made by a sea-serpent or a horned pout, or any other small fry. Diogenes, in his course of life, did no...t half as much good as lord Dexter, for Dexter employed and fed many men, while the Greek philosopher hardly fed himself. The difference between 68 LIFE OF DEXTER.
these great eccentrics was this, Diogenes wished even kings to get out of his sunshine, and Dexter wished his glory to shine on every fool who would worship him.
Dexter, although he did not do much good, did not live in vain. The follies he was guilty of fell on himself and his family, but the public did not suffer much. He was guiltless of shedding his country's blood ; his ambition did not that way tend.
