What reading level is Life And Work of John Mcdonogh book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
McDonogh, his abstemiousness and frugality, the seclusion in which he lived, and the secretive- ness with which he covered all the motives of his course of life, caused him to be misjudged by many of his contempo- raries, and rendered him the subject of much harsh criticism. To the mass of men who saw him toiling incessantly at his daily work, he appeared simply the stern, never-resting, exact- ing man of business, entirely absorbed in the pursuit of wealth, with no thought except for making or... for saving money. The appeals of charity appeared to meet but rarely with a response, the ties of kindred and of friendship seemed to have withered and died with age. So intently wrapped up had the old man become in the contemplation and pursuit of his great plans — plans of which the world knew and suspected nothing — that he moved among his fellows, not as one of them, but as a being from another sphere.
He who had been in his young manhood a prominent member of the gay and fashionable society of New Orleans, had become, so far as concerned his own race, a recluse.
