What reading level is The Life of Thomas Jefferson 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jefferson's abilities as a diplomatist were not less conspicuous than his straightforwardness. We shall find this abundantly conceded by all — by even personal, political, and national enemies — ^before we dismiss the history of this part of his life.
Jefferson had the ready good sense and knowledge of the world, which taught him not only when and how to ask, bu^ what to ask of our national ally. He did not expect that an ancient and powerful monarchy would instantly and radically change its ha...bits, overturn its commercial laws, or reform its abuses of administration, to meet either his wishes or demands.
He did not make such demands, and then, on their refusal, work himself into a passion, quarrel with the heads of depart- ments, write home flaming letters, and get laughed at for his pains. We shall find him throughout calmly, dexterously, and perseveringly pushing after the attainable, and making each attainment a step to another and generally a more important one.
In saying above, that he " meddled in no intrigues," he pn> bably referred to ordinary diplomatic intrigues, but he might have extended the remark to another class, the avoidance of which did still more to secure the confidence of the government Long before he left France, it was filled with active opponents of the existing order of things — men who were seeking radical political changes.
