What reading level is Memoir of Pierre Toussaint Born a Slave in St Domingo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How devotedly he loved his little niece, many will yet remember. She seemed fully to understand his affection, and clung to him as the vine clings to its support. She was delicately formed, and her figure slight ; he would put his-arm around her, and say, " My PIERRE TOUSSAINT. 55 Euphemia, " with a tenderness that was af- fecting ; there appeared something sacred in his love, as if he felt that God had intrusted her to his protection, and, by depriving her of all other earthly support, had mad...e him re- sponsible for her future welfare.
When she was about twelve years old, Toussaint procured her a French teacher. French was his own and his wife's language, of course that of his family ; but he wished her to speak it grammatically. He also let apartments in his house to a respectable white woman, a widow, who taught Euphe- mia English, and who after a while collected a small school of young children.
It was a striking trait in his character, that every thing in which he engaged was thorough- ly done ; there was a completeness in his plans, and their execution, which commanded confi- dence, and which perhaps was one of the causes of the respect which he inspired.
