What reading level is The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. (Complete) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both streets were filled with his hearers to a considerable distance. Being among the hindmost in Market Street, I had the curiosity to learn how far he could be heard, by retiring backwards down the street towards the river ; and I found his voice distinct till I came near Front Street, when some noise in that street obscured it. Imagining then a semicircle, of which my dis- tance should be the radius, and that it were filled with audi- tors, to each of whom I allowed two square feet, I comput...ed that he might well be heard by more than thirty thousand.
This reconciled me to the newspaper accounts of his having 108 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
preached to twenty-five thousand people in the fields, and to the ancient histories of generals haranguing whole armies, of which 1 had sometimes doubted.
By hearing him often, I came to distinguish easily between sermons newly composed, and those which he had often preached in the course of his travels. His delivery of the latter was so improved by frequent repetitions that every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being in- terested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse ; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music.
