What reading level is Inventors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" He adds: "We get but a song for it in comparison with the worth of the thing, but it is securing something. It will enable Miller & Whitney to pay their debts and divide something between them. " In December, 1802, Whitney negotiated the sale of his patent-right with the State of North Carolina. The Legislature laid a tax of 2s. 6d. Upon every saw (some of the gins had forty saws) employed in ginning cotton, to be continued for five years ; and after deducting the expenses of collection the r...eturns were faithfully passed over to the patentee. This compensation was regarded by Whitney as more liberal than that received from any other source. About the same time Mr. Goodrich, the agent of the com- pany, entered into a similar negotiation with Tennessee, which State had by this time be- gun to realize the importance of the invention. The Legislature passed a law laying a tax of 3/-J- cents per annum on every saw used, for the period of four years. Thus far the prospects were growing favorable to the patentees, when the Legislature of South Carolina unexpectedly annulled the contract which they had made, sus- pended further payment of the balance, and sued for the refunding of what had been already paid.
