What reading level is Samuel Johnson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The talk went on to patriotism, and Johnson laid down an apophthegm, at " which many will start," many people, in fact, having little sense of humour. Such persons may be reminded for their comfort that at this period patriot had a technical mean- ing. " Patriotism is the past refuge of a scoundrel." On the lotli of April he laid down another dogma, calculated to offend the weaker brethren. He defended Pope's line — Man never is but always (o be blest.
And being asked if man did not sometimes e...njoy a momentary hap- piness, replied, "Never, but when he is drunk." It would be, useless to defend these and other such utterances to any one who cannot enjoy them without defence.
On April nth, the pair went in Reynolds's coach to dine with Cambridge, at Twickenham. Johnson was in high spirits. He remarked as they drove down, upon the rarity of good humour in life. One friend mentioned by Boswell was, he said, acid, and another muddy. At last, stretching himself and turning with complacency, he observed, " 1 look upon myself as a good-humoured fellow " — a bit of self-esteem against which Boswell protested.
