What reading level is The Life of Sir Kenelm Digby book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By way of a thank-offering and a parting present, he sent her the happy news that she was " to conceal their marriage no longer".
I may as well say here, as elsewhere, that the Digbys had, in all, four sons, including one who died very young ; to the remaining three Ben Jonson wrote the following prose and poetry : * But for you growing gentlemen, the happy branches of two so illustrious houses as these, wherefrom your honoured mother is in both lines descended ; let me leave you this last lega...cy of counsel ; which, so soon as you arrive at years of mature understanding, open you, sir, that are the eldest, and read it to your brethren, for it will concern you all alike. Vowed by a faithful servant and client of your family, with his latest breath expiring it.
BEN JONSON.
