What reading level is The Works of Samuel Johnson, Ll.D. in Nine Volumes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But a great mind disdains to hold any thing by courtesy, and, therefore, never usurps what a lawful claimant may take away. He that encroaches onanother's dignity, puts himself in his power; he is either repelled withhelpless indignity, or endured by clemency and condescension.
Of Swift's general habits of thinking, if his letters can be supposed toafford any evidence, he was not a man to be either loved or envied. Heseems to have wasted life in discontent, by the rage of neglected pride, and t...he languishment of unsatisfied desire. He is querulous andfastidious, arrogant and malignant; he scarcely speaks of himself butwith indignant lamentations, or of others but with insolent superioritywhen he is gay, and with angry contempt when he is gloomy. From theletters that pass between him and Pope it might be inferred that they, with Arbuthnot and Gay, had engrossed all the understanding and virtueof mankind; that their merits filled the world; or that there was nohope of more. They show the age involved in darkness, and shade thepicture with sullen emulation.
