What reading level is The Life of Joseph Addison book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the meantime his personal consequence was receiving continual accessions; after his first campaign he was created a duke; in his third, the great day of Blenheim ele- vated him to the summit of glory and of favor. It was out of this brilliant event, which occurred on August 2, 1704, that Addi- son's zealous patron, the Earl of Halifax, extracted an occasion of doing him an essential service. In how unpropitious a manner the new reign had opened to this nobleman has been already intimated. Th...e queen, almost immediately on her accession, had struck out his name from the list of privy councilors, avowedly on account of his Whig prin- ciples. Shortly after, his enemies in the House of Commons had advanced several charges against him of malversation and cor- ruption in his office of auditor of the exchequer, and petitioned her majesty to proceed against him at common law ; an impeach- ment which had been aimed at him on a former occasion having failed of its object. The peers, partly from favor to his political principles and hostility to those of the majority in the House of Commons, partly, it may be suspected, from fellow-feeling, for never was there a time in which infidelity to public trusts was more gross and prevalent, interfered for his protection by ad- vancing a pretension concerning jurisdiction which seemed to have been ill-founded.
