What reading level is John Lothrop Motley : a Memoir book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Interview- ers," their use and tiieir iiiiscliief- luaking.
He tickles the author's vanity by showing him off as he sits in his library unconsciously uttering the engaging items of self-portraiture which, as he well knows, are to be given to the public in next week's illustrated paper. The feathered end of his shaft titillates harmlessly enough, but too often the arrowhead is crusted with a poison worse than the Indian gets by mingling the wolfs gall with the rattlesnake's venom. No man is sa...fe whose un- guarded threshold the mischief-making questioner has crossed. The more unsuspecting, the more frank, the more courageous, the more social is the subject of his vivisection, the more easily does he get at his vital secrets, if he has any to bd extracted. No man is safe if the hearsay reports of his conversation are to be given to the public without his own careful revision. When we re- member that a proof-text bearing on the mighty question of the future life, words of supreme sig- nificance, uttered as they were in the last hour, and by the lips to which we listen as to none other, — that this text depends for its interpretation on the position of a single comma, we can readily see what wrong may be done by the unintentional blunder of the most conscientious reporter.
