What reading level is Old Saws And Modern Instances book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When his country- men voted that an expedition should be sent out to Sicily, Nicias insisted that the whole discussion should be re- opened on the following day. When even so the decision went against him, he sought to dissuade the Athenians by demanding a far larger force, both of men and ships, than had originally been determined. But the only result of his dilatory policy was that the Athenians granted his requests, and, in accordance with their habitual method of balancing impetuosity by ca...ution, appointed both Alcibiades and Nicias to the command of the expedition. They added a third commander in the person of Lamachus, a brave and vigorous soldier, whose main business was the actual conduct of military operations, and who knew and cared nothing about questions of Imperial policy.
Unfortunately, just before the expedition sailed an unparalleled event occurred in Athens. In a single night the numerous marble Hermae, rectangular statues to Hermes, which could be seen in the market-place and were erected in front of the citizens' houses, and therefore formed one of the most familiar sights in Athens, were broken and mutilated and the streets littered with frag- ments.
