What reading level is Sir Walter Scott book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

He would have hated living inLondon; no salary that could have been offered him could have done morethan equal, if so much, the stipends of his Sheriffship and the comingClerkship, which he would have had to give up; and the work would haveinterfered much more seriously than his actual vocations with hisliterary avocations. Besides, it is quite certain that he would not havemade a good editor. In the first place, he was fitted neither byeducation nor by temperament for the troublesome and 'meti...culous'business of knocking contributions into shape. And, in the second, hewould most assuredly have fallen into the most fatal of all editorialerrors--that of inserting articles, not because they were actually goodor likely to be popular, but because the subjects were interesting, orthe writers agreeable, to himself. But he backed the venture manfullywith advice, by recruiting for it, and afterwards by contributing to it.
It so happened, too, that about the same time he had dissensions withthe publisher as well as with the editor of the _Edinburgh_.
