What reading level is A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen volume 9 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This dislike of his strange pictorial pursuits, which they could not well com- prehend, and his mirthful humour, which they could comprehend too well for Mr. Thomson, at this time, could draw caricatures as well as landscapes excited the attention of his brethren of the presbytery, one of the eldest of whom (so goes the story) was sent to remonstrate with him on the subject. The culprit listened in silence, and with downcast eyes; and, at the end of the admonition, was found to have sketched, o...r rather etched, an amusing likeness of his rebuker with the point of a pin upon hi? thumb-nail.
The incumbency of Mr. Thomson in Dailly was a short one, as in 1805 he was translated to the parish of Duddingston, a picturesque village within a mile of Edinburgh, and having the manse situated on the edge of its lake. In the neighbourhood of the northern metropolis, now rising into high literary celebrity, surrounded with scenery which can scarcely anywhere be surpassed, and by a society that could well appreciate his artistic excellence, he gave full scope to his hitherto half-imprisoned predilections, while his improvement continued to keep pace with the number of his productions.
