What reading level is Recollections of a Varied Career book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

W., which had been previously occupied by Senator Evarts, and has later been the home of Secretaries Alger and Hitchcock. Here we passed the larger part of the nejd; four years, and starting with a large ac- quaintance on both sides of the family, we soon found ourselves entirely at home in the society of the Capital. We entertained much, having a daughter, Edith, who came out during our first winter and was married (to Mr. Montgomery Blair) the second winter, — and as a natural consequence we ...were correspond- ingly entertained. These four years are among the pleasantest of my life.
One more matter may be worthy of mention before I pass to the regular session. One of- the features of the great Chicago Exposition was the assembly there in the month of October of a so-called Congress on patents and trade-marks. I was invited to speak, and did so, giving a few days incidentally to glancing through the Great White City and its exhibits. My subject was " The Influence of Invention on Cotton Manufacturing Indus- tries." In it I traced the manufacture of cotton cloth from the earliest records to the date of the paper, and referred to the development of the machinery used in its manufacture in some detail, summing up as follows, referring to the advance in the last himdred years.
