What reading level is Thomas Campbell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Campbell fell in with him and his fellow exiles, and passed a good part of his leisure in their society. The literary result was that pathetic if somewhat overrated song, ' The Exile of Erin, ' which Campbell wrote after one evening finding Tony M'Cann more than usually depressed. Many years later an absurd claim to the authorship of this song was raised on behalf of an Irishman named Nugent, whose sister swore to having seen it in her brother's handwriting before the date of Campbell's con- ti...nental visit. Campbell was naturally pained by the accusation, but he produced irrefragable proofs of his title to the song ; and although the charge of plagiarism was revived after his death, there is not the slightest ground for doubting his authorship. The subject is fully dealt with by Beattie, but to discuss it nowadays would be altogether superfluous. Before leaving home, Campbell had entered into an agreement with Mr Perry of the Morning Chronicle to send him something for his columns, and ' The Exile of Erin ' was published by him on the 28th of January 1801.
