What reading level is Life of Voltaire 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This income the late King of France could have conveniently confiscated, and would have done so if he had not been more governed by his mistresses than by his priests. Voltaire drew besides 62,500 francs a year from the Duke of Wiirtemberg, 13,000 from the Elector-Palatine, 15,000 from Femey, and from all these external sources together 106,000 francs. After deduct- ing taxes and costs of collection, his revenue in 1775 amounted to 184,481 francs, and in 1777 to 206,000 francs ; about equal, in... purchasing power, to the same number of our dollars of 1881.
In the same little yellow book he «ums up his probable ex- LAST LABORS AT FERNET. 657 penditures in 1775, thus : " Upon which it is necessary to pay, to my nephews, 3,600 francs ; for the year's expenses, 40,000 ; to the cnr^, 800; in alms, 1,000, — total, 45,400." The book contains also a large number of notes and entries, some of which convey little information to a reader of to-day, though all are written in the clear, small, legible hand of the master.
