What reading level is Idols; Or, the Secret of the Rue Chaussée D'antin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It howled, it fairly shrieked for joy, to see in its power the two classes of men whose lives are spent in maintaining peace and good order: the priest, who educates children to virtue, and the gendarme^ belonging to that picked body of soldiers, sworn to carry out the law even at the expense of their lives.
Truly, witnessing the unreasonable hatred evinced by these wretches against men whose only crime was the defence of justice against injustice, the preservation of the rights of property, an...d even of human life, it was plain that their sole object was impunity to commit every possible misdeed, and more especially those worthy of capital punishment.
Calm and dignified the prisoners walked among that furious crew. They, the soldiers of duty, who had up- held the honor of the French flag on many a hard-fought field, and won their crosses and medals by many a wound. Yet they were not insensible to their fate.
Bitter anguish filled the hearts of these bronzed and bearded gendarmes^ at thought of their wives and chil- dren left unprovided for and unprotected, and whom they were never to see again.
