What reading level is The Shadow of the Millionaire Or the New Ideal a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

He would swallow Exmoor at a gulp, institution, pro fessors, the fame of the town and all, planking down the coin, placarding the whole with the dingy green of his bank notes. He was strongly desirous of owning a college. Yes, they all let the drawbridge fall and heaved up the port cullis before the battle-front of his stocks ; even this last world of exclusive traditions, this Exmoor that boasted its literary and philosophic spirit and its standard of culture, succumbed at his nod. How the pro...fessors and unique nesses had thronged to kiss the hand of this pious pillager, who rifled Wall Street and paid pastors salaries by the score over all the country! At bottom of this masterly mechanism, concealed within the cogs and pistons of this embodied geometry of brokerage, smouldered a cold passion for mastery. Exmoor was a new land to be won, and her culture, that vaunted itself superior to mere commerce, was a new subject to be thrown or cajoled into subjection to that Napoleonic egoism, even as the stock-market, Knick erbocker society, his obstreperous son-in-law, had in their turn been subdued.
