What reading level is Miscellaneous Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Neitherof these men lived till the following century, so that personally thisevidence is none at all. Grafton sullenly and carelessly believed ashe wished to believe; Holinshead took pains to inquire, and reportsundoubtedly the general impression of France. But I cite the case asillustrating M. Michelet's candor. [7] The circumstantial incidents of the execution, unless with more spacethan I can now command, I should be unwilling to relate. I should fearto injure, by imperfect report, a martyrd...om which to myself appears sounspeakably grand. Yet for a purpose pointing, not at Joanna but at M. Michelet, --viz. , to convince him that an Englishman is capable of thinkingmore highly of _La Pucelle_ than even her admiring countryman, I shall, inparting, allude to one or two traits in Joanna's demeanor on the scaffold, and to one or two in that of the bystanders, which authorize me inquestioning an opinion of his upon this martyr's firmness. The reader oughtto be reminded that Joanna d'Arc was subjected to an unusually unfair trialof opinion.
