What reading level is Footprints of Famous Men Designed As Incitements to Intellectual Industry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In these poems, as in the volume given to the world under the assumed name of " Thomas Little, " tlie glo\\ing and irresistible imagination of the bard led him to commit what were very generally regarded as nothing less than most objectionable offences against delicacy and decorum. Accord- ingly he was attacked in the '* Edinburgh Review, " with, as he conceived, so much and undeserved severity, that he thought himself called on to chal- lenge Jeffrey, as the responsible editor, to mortal comba...t. In consequence, the poet and critic met at Chalk Farm to enjoy the doubtful luxury of being fired at by each other ; but, fortunately, the inter- ference of lurking police-officers stopped the matter in time to prevent mischief, otherwise it is not improbable — so great was their awkwardness — that it might have resulted in involuntary suicide ; at all events, the seconds seem to have been in a position of no slight peril. If anything could have added to the absurdity of the affair, it would have been the report, which asserted that the pistols, on examination, were found to contain paper pellets, substituted in place of leaden bullets.
