What reading level is A Visit to Paris in June 1814 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
survived the storms of atheistic fanaticism, and still retains all its original perfection, and all the beauty of holiness. The third, erected in the time of Lewis the Fourteenth, ex- hibits in its magnitude, its proportion, and its decorations, all the stateliness and the majesty of that triumphant aera of French history.
So far the picture is pleasing ; but its colors will lose much of their brilliancy when I inform you, that the villages and towns are crowded with beggars, and that whenever ...you stop, your carriage is instantly surrounded with a groupe of objects the most miserable and disgusting. In a country where the poor and the dis- tressed are abandoned to the charity of indi- viduals, the number of mendicants must be greater than in one where public provision is made for the suffering class: this is true; yet the number, who in France fall under that de- nomination, seems to me far beyond the usual proportion, especially as idleness in a country so well cultivated, can scarcely be the cause of such poverty; nor is it a mere pretence em- ployed to extort donations, as the haggard looks, the nakedness, and oftentimes the ulcers and the deformities of the claimants too clearly prove its reality.
