What reading level is The Works of Dr. Benjamin Franklin : Consisting of Essays, Humorous, Moral, And Literary : With His Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But if they are obscurely printed, or dis- guised by omiting the capitals or long/'s, or other- wise, the reader is apt to modulate wrong; and, find- ing he has done so, he is obliged to go back and be- gin the sentence again ; which lessens the pleasure of the hearers. This leads me to mention an old ESSAYS. 179 error in our mode of printing. We are sensible, that when a question is met with in the reading there is a proper variation to be used in the man- agement of the voice : we have, there...fore, a point called an interrogation affixed to the question, to distinguish it. But this is absurdly placed at its end, so that the reader does not discover it till he iineh that he was wrongly modulating his voice, and is therefore obliged to begin again the sen- tence. To prevent this, the Spanish printers, more sensibly place an interrogation at the beginning a?
well as at the end^pf the question. We have ano- ther error of the same kind in printing plays, where something often occurs that is marked as spoken aside.
