What reading level is A History of Block Island From Its Discovery in 1514 to the Present Time 1876 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is necessary to resort to the imagination to give an adequate view of this extraordinary unevenness which puts this Island among the natural curiosities to the observer.
Imagine, then, several tidal waves moving in nearly the same direction — from west to east, each rising about one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea, and their bases nearly touching each other ; and on the tops, sides, and intervals of these, '"chop-waves" in every con- ceivable shape and position covering com...pletely the tidal waves ; and when the reader has done this he has an out- line of the view under the observer's eye who stands in a good light upon Beacon Hill.
Another peculiarity of the surface found by the first settlers has almost entirely disappeared. When they landed on the Island it must have been difficult in some places to have stepped amiss of a stone. A glance at the walls now standing are evidence enough that before they were built the surface of the ground was wellnigh paved with small bowlders, ^t is no exaggeration to say that more than three hundred miles of stone-wall now consti- tute the fences of Block Island.
