What reading level is The Genius And Character of Robert Burns book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Findlater, who was Burns's supervisor from his ad- mission into the Excise, and sat by him the night before he died, says, " In all that time, the superintendence of his behavior, as an officer of the revenue, was a part of my official pro- vince, and it may be supposed I would not be an inattentive observer of the general conduct of a man and a poet so cele- brated by his countrymen. In the former capacity he was ex- emplary in his attention, and was even jealous of the least imputation on... his vigilance. * * * It was not till near the latter end of his days, that there was any falling off in this respect, and this was amply accounted for in the pressure of disease and accumulating infirmities. I will farther avow, that I never saw him — which was very frequently while he lived at Ellisland — and still more so, almost every day, after he removed to Dumfries, but in hours of business he was quite him- self, and capable of discharging the duties of his office ; nor was he ever known o drink by himself, or ever to indulge in the use of liquor on a forenoon.
