What reading level is James Boswell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' 'Jamie's aff the hooks noo;' said the old laird, as they drew nearAuchinleck, 'he's bringing doon an auld dominie. ' Boswell begged of hiscompanion to avoid three topics of discourse on which he knew his fatherhad fixed opinions--Whiggism, Presbyterianism, and Sir John Pringle. Fora time all went well. They walked about 'the romantick groves of myancestors, ' and Bozzy discoursed on the antiquity and honourablealliances of the family, and on the merits of its founder, Thomas, whofell with Kin...g James at Flodden. But the storm broke, over the judge'scollection of medals, where that of Oliver Cromwell brought up Charlesthe First and Episcopacy. All must regret that the writer's filialfeelings withheld the 'interesting scene in this dramatick sketch. ' Itis the one _lacuna_ in the book. Sir John Pringle, as the middle termin the debate, came off without a bruise, but the honours lay with LordAuchinleck. The man whose 'Scots strength of sarcasm' could retort onJohnson, that Cromwell was a man that let kings know they 'had a _lith_in their neck, ' was likely to open new ideas to the doctor, whosepolitical opinions could not rank higher than prejudices.
