What reading level is Personal Sketches of His Own Times volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

As if Gulliver were a prophet, he literally described, in the reign of Queen Anne, both the English liorse and the Irish ^peasant as they exist at the present moment. If the lodging, clothing, cleaning, food, medicine, and attendance of the modern Hoyn- hymm, be contrasted with the pig-sty, rags, filth, neglect, and hunger of the Yahoo, it must convince any honest neutral that Swift (that greatest of Irishmen) did not overcharge his satire. The sum lavished upon the care of one Hoynhymm for a s...ingle day, with little or nothing to do, is more (exclusive of the farrier) than is now paid to five Irish Yahoos for twelve hours' hard labour, with to feed, clothe, lodge, and nourish themselves, and probably five wives and twenty or thirty children, for the same period, into the bargain.
OF HIS OWN TIMES. 20 o A few very curious cases may elucidate our ancient practice of cure — a practice, I believe, never even heard of in any other part of Europe. The bite of a mad dog was to the Irish pea- santry of all things the most puzzling and terrific ; and I am sure I can scarcely guess what Doctor Morgan will think of my veracity when I state the two modes by which that horrible mania was neutralised or finally put an end to.
