What reading level is Recollections book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never read Jortin's Erasmus.
Turkish and Persian tales authentic.
Euripides perhaps the most precious thing left us — most like Shakespeare. 1 The Colonseus perhaps the best of Sophocles, though I like the Electra too. The Greek chorus the prettiest thing in the world.
Caesar's Commentaries do not entertain me somehow. There is a want of thought in them — dry, and affecting to be written briefly and in a hurry — Came here; went there. His letter to Oppius and Cornelius Balbus* the most striking... thing to his honour, and seldom mentioned. Had sent for a Cicero and copied it out to transmit it to Bonaparte, when the news of D'Enghien's death 3 arrived and prevented him.
1 Vide supra, pp. 31 and 41.
1 Ad Attic, ix. 7. Hooke, iv. 39. S. B. [The letter from Caesar to Oppius and Cornelius Balbus was sent by Cicero to Atticus, (inclosed in the 7 th Epistle of 9th Book of Letters to Atticus,) to show Csesar's moderation in the midst of great successes. It affords ' a noble testimony of Caesar's wisdom and magnanimity.' — Guthrie.) 3 The Duke d'Enghien was shot, by the order of Bona- parte, in the Chateau of Vincennes, in March, 1804, having CHARLES JAMES FOX.
