What reading level is Universal Classics Library volume 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We wonder at the intrepidity of a Leonidas, a Codrus, and a Curtius ; and are not the least surprised to hear of a sea- captain, who has blown up his ship, his crew, and himself, ^ that they might not fall into the hands of the enemies of his country. I cannot help reading of Porsenna and Reg- ulus, with surprise and reverence, and yet I remember that I saw, without either, the execution of Shepherd, * a boy of eighteen years old, who intended to shoot the late king, and who would have been par...doned, if he would have expressed the least sorrow for his intended crime ; but, on the contrary, he declared that if he was pardoned he would attempt it again; that he thought it a duty which he owed to his country, and that he died with pleasure for having endeavored to perform it. Reason equals Shepherd * James Shepherd, a coach-painter's apprentice, was executed at Tyburn for high treason, March 17, 1718, in the reign of George L.
LETTERS TO HIS SON iii to Regulus ; but prejudice, and the recency of the fact, make Shepherd a common malefactor and Regulus a hero.
