What reading level is A Description of a Singular Aboriginal Race Inhabiting the Summit of Te ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
131 wild beasts of every description are supposed to inhabit, joined to their wild and uncouth appearance ; but however that may be, like the Burgher, they do not hesitate to apply to the Curumbars, when they or any of their family believe themselves enchanted or bewitched ; and very many of them are always too ready to consider themselves so, when attacked by the most common disorders.
The fact appears to be, that the Curumbars have a knowledge of herbs and medicinal roots, which the others ha...ve not ; and that the effects of these, when they have been judiciously applied, added to their great singularity of character, make up the whole and true cause of the wonderment and dread which they inspire. The Bur- ghers say they have a knowledge of vegetable medicines, but they limit it to those which are noxious only, and believe that, with the assistance of their magic, they are able to convey them into the stomachs of those to whom they have any dislike.
On our road from Karrkawady, we stopped a day at a considerable Burgher village, for the purpose of witness- ing one of their funerals.
