What reading level is Lights And Shadows of American Life 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Affectation, on the contrary, being out of nature, will always betray itself in this par- ticular, as in every other.
210 STORIES OF AMERICAN LIFE.
I am disposed also to treat as a fond chimera, a notion I have often heard expressed, that there is a natural gentility appertaining to the chirographs of nature's aristocracy ; supposing such a phrase to be proper. Every thing else about a gentle- man's letter will furnish better hints as to his breeding and quality, than the character of his hand-... writing. Set a well-taught boot-black and a gentleman down to copy the same sentence, on pieces of paper of like shape and texture, and few of your conjurors in autographs will be able to guess from the specimens, which is the gentleman, and which is the boot-black.
But to leave this drouthy and prosing disqui- sition, I am minded to illustrate both the evils and advantages of bad or illegible writing, by incidents which have occurred, or are easily supposeable, in real life. My poor old master, against whose memory I cherish no malice, notwithstanding his frequent fustigation of my youthful knuckles, when he despaired of my profiting either by the unction of his precepts, or the sore application of his ruler, endeavoured to frighten me into amendment by examples.
