What reading level is Reminiscences of a Nonagenarian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Mr. Carey was obliged to "stand treat. " For years the chief wonder of the place was Lord Timothy Dexter, his hairless dog and his images. This man was born in Maiden in 1743. He came to Newburyport in early manhood and married a Miss Frothingham, from the old Frothingham mansion on the corner of High and Ohve street. In a short time he obtained a large fortune by tak- ing advantage of the markets and b}' luck}^ adventures. His first successful speculation was buying up continental notes when... depreciated, and selling them when a prospect of redemption had raised their value. His specula- tions in mittens, warming-pans, whale- bone and the lUvC, are widely' known. Though ignorant and illiterate, and doubtless somewhat indebted to luck for his good fortune, still it is e^adent the man was both shrewd and saga- cious. His vanity was inordinate. Under an}' circumstances it is probable he would have proved an eccentricity, still, such were the convivial habits of the period, and constantly surrounded as he was, by a band of sj'cophantic boon companions, who spurred him on to aU sorts of ridiculous sayings and doings, one can scarcely judge what the character of the man would have been under the teetotal regime of Neal Dow.
