What reading level is Literary Recollections volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the Doctor had related this anecdote, a gen- tleman present mentioned the stories which had been told, of persons having again come to life, after they had been put into their coffins. I said, I imagined this to be impossible : because, if the want of respirable air in a closed coffin were sufficient to destroy a living per- son, it must positively prevent the restoration of a person apparently dead. The Doctor, however, thought that I reasoned inconclusively; and remarked, that a body wh...ich does not breathe, cannot want air, while it conti- nues in that state ; and therefore it cannot consume the air which was already in the coffin, when the lid was shut down. If it should afterwards resume the faculty of breathing, it may make two or three inspirations ; after which, the want of air would produce actual suffocation, in the manner of a quiet sleep. I asked him if it were possible, that during two or three inspirations, the mind might be in a state of agony and terror, perceiving its horrible situation ; but he thought it not possible, that in so very short a time, the faculties could be suffi- ciently awakened, to be capable of perceiving any thing, before the suffocation would take place.
