What reading level is Essays Historical And Literary volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

So when the tea-ships at length arrived at New York and Philadelphia, they were turned about and sent home without ever coming within the jurisdiction of the custom-house. At Charles ton the ships lingered more than the legal term of twenty days in port, and then the collector seized the tea and brought it ashore ; but as there was no con signee at hand to pay the duty, the fragrant leaves lay untouched in the custom-house until they rotted and fell to pieces. But before these things happened, ...the bat tle had been fought in Boston. There the consignees, two of whom were sons of Governor Hutchinson, re fused to resign ; on no account, therefore, would it do to let the tea come ashore at Boston, for if it did, the duty would instantly be paid. The governor was a man of intense legality ; he did not approve the sending of the tea, but if a ship once came into port, it must not, in his opinion, go out again without discharging all due formalities. His sons were like him for stubborn courage, and thus it was that Boston became the seat of war.
