What reading level is Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 425 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This act, however, is not so much to be regarded as a strong evidence of the privateopinion of the nautical magnates in question--but the chief of them isinvariably a _landsman_--as of their deference to the force of publicestimation on the subject of the songs. Let it not be thought, fromthe tenor of our subsequent remarks, that we ourselves are at allprejudiced against Dibdin. So far is it the reverse, that we werebrought up from childhood 'in belief' of that gifted lyrist: ourfather repeated... to us in early life his finest songs, and we havenever ceased to regard him with sincere admiration. He was a man oftrue genius in his peculiar walk, and it has been well and truly saidof him, that, 'had he written merely to amuse, his reputation wouldhave been great; but it stands the higher, because his writings alwaysadvocate the cause of virtue: charity, humanity, constancy, love ofcountry, and courage, are the subjects of his song and of his praise. ' Dibdin himself was not a sailor, and his knowledge of sea-life, ofseamen, and of sea-slang, is generally attributed to the instructionsof his brother, the master of a ship.
