What reading level is Henry Oscar Houghton a Biographical Outline book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed, he was sometimes a little impatient of method, he believed so much more in the man behind the method. The most perfect 96 HENRY OSCAR HOUGHTON method he knew would never execute itself ; and when an elaborate plan was outlined, he spent little criticism on the plan, but wished to know at once who was to carry it out. Hence his attack, for failure in any enterprise, was directed upon the person who had failed, and few there were who escaped being hauled over the coals, as the expressive ...phrase is. The coals were rarely allowed to burn into dead ashes ; they were fed by many occasions, and the hauling was performed with an energy which kept the hand well in practice. Mr. Houghton sometimes lost his temper in this exercise, but usually he drew back from the edge, and the person who was a disinterested bystander could often extract a vast deal of entertainment out of the racy speech which enlivened the reproof. Mr. Houghton's good sense of humor was his safeguard at such times, and his f elicitous comparisons, his shrewd epi- thets, his remote anecdotes, all tempered the severity of his judgments.
