What reading level is Mr. Gladstone: a Monograph book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The re-reading of the Waverley novels was a constant source of delight to him through life ; and, notwith- standing that they have gone rather out of fashion during the last half of the nineteenth century, he felt sure that they were works that would be '* immortal." In his judgment, the two chefs dcmvre of the series were ** The DELIGHT IN WALTER SCOTT. 67 Bride of Lammermoor " and " Kenilworth." He believed that iEschylus was the only other man who could have written the first ; and that the ...second could have been pro- duced by no one else but Shakespeare. It is worth noting in connection with his ad- miration for Walter Scott, that he ranked Lockhart's life of the great novelist "the first of all biographies." Cognate to his literary studies was the pleasure with which he perused catalogues of old books. He welcomed the receipt of lists of second-hand books from booksellers all over the kingdom ; and it was a special interest to him, when he went through the catalogues, to see if any of his own works were included among the lots, and at what price they were marked.
