What reading level is The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An acquaintance, who was also learning it, used often to tempt me to play chess with him. Finding this took up too much of the time I had to spare for study, I at length refused to play any more, unless on this condi- tion, that the victor in every game should have a right to impose a task, either of parts of the grammar, to be got by heart, or in translations, which tasks the van- quished was to perform upon honour before our next meeting. As we played pretty equally, we thus beat one another ...into that language. I afterwards, with a little pains-taking, acquired as mnch of the Spanish as to read their books also.
I have already mentioned that I had only one year's in- struction in a Latin school, and that when very young, after which I neglected that language entirely. But, when I had attained an acquaintance with the French, Italian, and Spanish, I was surprised to find, on looking over a Latin Testament, that I understood more of that language than I had imagined ; which encouraged me to apply myself again to the study of it, and I met with more success, as those preceding lang^uages had greatly smoothed my way.
