What reading level is Devil-Puzzlers : And Other Studies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our workmen are well used to their trade : they think neither the better nor the worse of a minister because they have played football with his head, and manufactured his bowels and his brains for him. It's all a matter of business with them." A naked minister, near several others, stood ready for transfer to the tailor's shop.
64 DEVIL- PUZZLERS.
The head and hands were finished and colored skilfully, like nature, and suggested the ghastly idea that they had been cut off from a live man, or a ...dead one, and stuck up there for models. The rest of the creature was a mass of machinery, bearing enough resemblance to the human figure to admit of being draped into a sufficient resemblance to it.

'* Yes, sir," replied the man : '' but he isn't oiled ; and the power hasn't been regu- lated." ** Never mind," answered Budlong, turn- ing to me: ''he'll click and rattle, and grin and squirm a little; but you can get an idea of the operation of the works." So saying, he threw the machinery into gear with a key.
