What reading level is Recollections of Paris volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was very audacious, very incisive, and very witty; it was eagerly purchased, and its circulation soon touched 100, 000 copies. It said that there were 36, 000, 000 subjects in France, without counting those of dissatisfaction, and it flagellated the Imperial system with scorpions. Naturally this could not long be toler- ated, and one morning Paris learned on awaking that Citizen Rochefort, ci-devant Marquis, had quitted its walls and had shifted his quarters to Belgium to avoid arrest. After... this flight it was of course very difficult to procure La Lanterne, the publication of which was continued over the frontier. Copies, however, were to be had, if not for love, for money. They used to be smuggled into France in a variety of ways, and on one occasion the "merchant" who furnished me now and again with a copy at an average price of from four to eight shillings, received a supply enclosed in a bust of his Imperial Majesty Napoleon III. ! Of course persecution rendered the little red THE ELECTIONS 97 pamphlet more popular than ever, giving it the savour of stolen fruit, and the more it was persecuted the fiercer and more relentless it became.
