What reading level is The Jeffersons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
high character. But he struck out no individual path.
He resembled Garrick as Davenport resembled Mac- ready, or as Setchell resembled Burton : he was of the Garrick school, and almost as good as its founder.
His influence on the stage was not the influence of an electrical genius ; he did not come to destroy, but to fulfil, the traditions which he found. That he followed the lead of Garrick, and not of Quin, was signiiicant rather of temperament than of deliberate choice : bril- liancy allured... him more than scholarship ; but, though he had been attracted to the school of Quin rather than to that of Garrick, he still would have remained a disciple. His ser\dces to the stage, accordingly, were those of an able and generous man, working by con- ventional methods in a traditional groove. He sus- tained at a high level the dignity of his profession, and was the more scrupulously careful of the integrity of the theatre because sensitive to the reproach under which it labored, ^^'hile he did not presume to re- ject Archer, Careless, Woodall, Belmour, Scandal, and kindred shining scamps of the old English comedy, he evidently was the kind of man who must have acted them, not out of sympathy with vice, not with even the faintest notion of immoral intent, but be- cause experience had shown them to be useful, and because they \\-ere in possession of the stage.
