What reading level is An Idler in Old France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

There are differences between the two treatises, but they are not important ; and the sage who writes only seven years before the Revolution is still hammering away at the same points of etiquette which engaged his predecessor. At the very close of the eighteenth century it is still necessary to remind your host that he should not chastise his servants at table, and the guest that if he swallows his wine too rapidly he may choke himself, 'which is impolite and in- convenient. ' In the eighteent...h century (and within eighteen TWO 'CIVILITIES 1 95 years of the nineteenth) you sit down to table with your hat on — removing it only if your health is toasted by ' a person of quality, ' or if you are con- strained to rise before the meal is over — and every ' Civilite ' enjoins upon you to go to dinner with your hands clean. Apparently there is only one towel, for the ' Civilite" ' requests that ' a dry corner be left for the person who is to use it afterwards. ' Grace being said, and the guests tabled, there is a whole code for the employment of the napkin.
