What reading level is Vidocq the French Police Spy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My researches * intra muros ' were not less successful. I frequented every tennis-court in the environs of the Palais-Royal, the Hotel d'Angleterre, the boulevards of the Temple, and in fact the whole city. Not a day passed in which I did not effect some important discovery. Nothing escaped me, either relating to crimes which had been committed, or were in contemplation. I was in all places ; I knew all that was passing or projecting ; and never were the police idly or unprofitably employed whe...n set to work upon my suggestions.
M. Henry openly expressed his surprise as well as satisfaction at my zeal and success ; it was not so with many of the peace- officers and sub-agents of police, for, little accustomed to the hard duty and constant watchfulness my plans induced, they openly murmured. Some of them, in their anxiety to be rid of the irk- someness of my direction, were cowardly enough to betray the secret of the disguise under favour of which I had so skilfully manoeuvred This imprudent act drew down upon them severe reprimands, without having the effect of making them more cir- cumspect, or more devoted to the public good.
