What reading level is Roundabout Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As in the South Sea Bubble, almost everj-body gam- bled ; as in the Railwa}" mania — not many centuries ago — almost ever}- one took his unlucky share : a man of that time, of the vast talents and ambition of Swift, could scarce do other- wise than grasp at his prize, and make his spring at his oppor- tunity. His bitterness, his scorn, his rage, his subsequent misanthropy, are ascribed by some panegyrists to a deliberate conviction of mankind's unwortliiness, and a desire to amend them by casti...gating. His youth was bitter, as that of a great genius bound down by ignoble ties, and powerless in a mean dependence ; his age was bitter,* like that of a great genius that had fought the battle and nearly won it, and lost it, and thought of it afterwards writhing in a lonely exile. A man may attribute to the gods, if he likes, what is caused by his own Journal. Letter XIX.
" London, March 25th, 1710-11.
" . . . . We have let Guiscard be buried at last, after showing him pickled in a trougli this fortniglit for twopence a piece ; and the fellow that showed would point to his body and say, ' See, gentlemen, this is the wound that was given him by his Grace the Duke of Ormond ; ' and, ' Tliis is the wound,' &c.
