What reading level is Man for All Ages: the Changing Image of Benjamin Franklin in Nineteenth-Century American Popular Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While establishing himself in Philadelphia, Jones says that Franklin's position as a journeyman printer "obliged him to live with the utmost frugality," and "it was partly for the sake of economy that at this period he often dined on a basin of oat-meal gruel; poor diet enough for any-one, especially for a working man" (98).
In this account, however, the most prominent event from Franklin's life is the kite experiment, as scientific activity appears as the result of his business success.
The sc...ience of electricity, then quite a new one, particularly attracted the attention of Franklin, and his numerous experiments at length led him to a very important discovery, -that the electrical fluid, as produced by an electrical machine, is precisely the same thing as lightning. (98) The experiment with the kite follows, with Jones also making it take on practical application, by reversing the historical sequence, so that "this new fact [Franklin] turned to good account by his invention of what is called lightning conductors" (99).
