What reading level is Flotsam And Jetsam book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What kind of answer, too, will it be when one day the answer is called for, to say that we never inquired as to the end, and thought ourselves secure in the fair appearance of the means ?
****** I consider all the self-made men I know, and I conclude that all the great fortunes, which is to say as times go all the great successes, of our days, have been made either by superiority in the mean swindling by which money is transferred in a genera- tion too cowardly for open violence or else by the ...more honest method of hitting upon a very small modification in some article of universal necessity. One millionnaire represents an improved axle-tree, another a new stitch in a sewing-machine, a third a novel mixture of lubricating grease, and I have at this moment a man in my eye who has been offered thirty thousand pounds for a mere notion of bolting together railway rails. The men who first invented axle-trees, sewing-machines, lubrica- tion, and rails, were miserable failures as compared with these, their latter-day parasites and so it is that while all the great untried original ideas are still going a-begging, and only get at last received by chance, all the small supplementary contempt- ible ideas that fasten upon them when once they are received, are madly scrambled for and bring certain reward.
