What reading level is Selections From the Characters Reflexions And Maxims book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their arms are to be seen on their windows, their castle gates, their justiciary pillars, where many a man is hanged who only deserved banishment. They strike the eye everywhere ; on their furniture, on their locks ; their carriages are covered with them, and their liveries are as resplendent as their coats of arms. But I should like to say to the Sannions : " Your folly is premature, you should wait at least until your race has existed for a 89 LA BRUYERE AND VAUVENARGUES The Parvenu century. ...Those who have met and spoken with your grandfather are old and cannot live long. Who then would be able to say « He kept a shop and sold very dear ?'" The Sannions and the Crispins like still better to be thought extravagant and able to spend money. They bore you with a long story of a fete or banquet they gave, they confide to you their losses at play, and they complain loudly of that which they had not thought to lose. They speak in a mysterious jargon of certain women of their acquaintance, they have a hundred amusing stories to tell each other, " they have just made some curious discoveries, " and pass with each other for men of great intrigue.
