What reading level is The Old Ledger 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" says the millionnaire, with a heavy sigh, when the door leading into the library has again closed upon her, ^^so do I, from my heart of hearts: Would that there was no such thing as money in the world ! " * * * 118 CHAPTER II.
STRUGGLING WITH THE STORM.
We must take a brief retrospect now to explain Sir Richard's present position, and the actual state in which we find the great banking house of Ellesdee & Co. in 1852.
I have had occasion to state, in the earlier part of our story, that the pr...esent Sir Richard Ellesdee was somewhat lacking in the cautious prudence which character- ized his late father in all Jiis business under- takings ; tliat he was, in fact, of a much bolder and more speculative turn of mind than his great predecessor in the bank, who even in his last will and testament had laid it down as a rule that, though a THE OLD LEDGER. 119 banker might plead his right to engage in speculative operations beyond the sphere of his proper business, so long as he con- fined such operations within the limits of his own private funds, yet the more pru- dent and more honest course for him to pursue was to abstain from them alto- gether.
