What reading level is Chamberss Miscellany of Instructive Entertaining Tracts volume 8 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first contained twelve thousand, and the second thirty thousand volumes. This increase was not merely in numbers, but also in value, as a very great part of these volumes was better ; that is, books of a higher price.
When I was first initiated into the various manoeuvres practised by booksellers, I found it customary among them (which practice still continues), that when any books had not gone off so rapidly as expected, or so fast as to pay for keeping them in store, they would put what r...emained of such articles into private sales, where only booksellers are admitted, and of them only such as were invited by having a catalogue sent them. At one of these sales I have frequently seen seventy or eighty thousand volumes sold after dinner, including books of every description, good, bad, and indifferent : by this means they were distributed through the trade.
When first invited to these trade-sales, I was very much surprised to learn that it was common for such as purchased remainders to destroy one-half or three-fourths of such books, and to charge the ANECDOTES OF SHOEMAKERS.
