What reading level is Thoreau: His Home, Friends And Books book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prof. E. Harlow Eussell, among some loose sheets, are old letters whose reverse sides contain some of his nature-notes. Here are business letters from New York houses placing orders and acknow- ledging receipt of plumbago from Henry Thoreau.
THE YEARS OF EXPRESSION 157 In 1853, he records that by surveying, in which he was always expert, he made a dollar a day for seventy-six successive days' work. Perhaps this statement explains the unique comment on Tho- reau by a so-called historian of Conco...rd, — "His profession was that of a surveyor and it is easy to imagine how, with his poetic temperament, while laying out roads and measuring wood-lots, he came to be what he was." Could there be a more com- plete reversal of facts ? In such a picture he becomes Admetus serving some Apollo.
In 1849-1850 he says that he manufactured one thousand dollars' worth of pencils and finally sacri- ficed them in price to pay a debt of one hundred dollars. Probably this work, and some of the returns from surveying, paid the expense of his first book, issued by Munroe of Boston in 1849.
