What reading level is The Fancy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

There is a delicate modesty in the work, which can only be found in the dawn of a country's poetry. There is no mercenary mark in any line. In England the Muses evidently beat out their compositions into profitable lengths, making one line for love, and a dozen for money; they will even sell, like dealers in Irish linen, a single piece : and Apollo now-a-days impudently smacks his breeches' pocket in the publisher's face, and sells by weight. Here we plainly see a devotion to fame, and a total ...forgetfulness of pounds, shillings, and pence.
The piece came into my hands in a strange manner. I requested a friend to procure for me a copy of the small American edition of Waver- ley and Guy Mannering, to present to a young lady, who, strange to say, read books, and wore pockets ; and I requested him also to forward it whenever he found an opportunity. He pur- chased the books, and left them (as he has since explained in a letter) in his hut, reading them oc- casionally to beguile the more laborious amuse- ments of lamb-slaughtering and wood-cutting, or the felling of trees and bullocks.
