What reading level is Memoirs of Marmontel volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas left behind him a high character, rather than a splendid renown ; and he ought to be numbered among illustrious, rather than celebrated writers. Women con- tribute essentially to celebrity, and their votes were not in his favour.
The same year that Thomas died, I had the con- solation of seeing the Abb6 Morellet admitted into the Academy with claims less brilliant, but not less solid, than the Abbe Maury. His understanding was steady and enlightened, full of sound knowledge, particularly... upon subjects of public utility, and he had distinguished him- MARMONTEL 133 self by writings which displayed a correct and pure style, a severe judgment, and a systematic arrangement. In another department, he was known to be the author of some excellent works of humour, full of taste, lively and agreeable. Lucian, Rabelais and Swift had taught him to handle irony and ridicule, and their disciple had become their rival. Thus my dearest friends came and sat down by me, filling up in the Academy the places of those I yearly lost.
