What reading level is A History of the Discovery of Maine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think that the latter was meant ; first, because the "Gulf of Merosro" has the longitude of the mouth of the River St. LaAvvence, which is also the longitude of the Bay of Ungava ; second, because the said gulf is represented as closed in the west. The western coast of the Bay of Ungava runs high up to the north, where Hudson's Strait is often filled with ice. This may have led the unknown discov- erers, the informants of Mercator, to suppose that it was closed in the west. If they had looked... round Cape Wolstenholm into Hudson's Bay, they would have perceived a broad bay and open water before them.
Mercator does not indicate, so far as I know, the sources from which he derived these remarkable improvements for his chart, which were not known by Homem in 1558, and of which there are only slight indi- cations on the Cabot map of 1. 544. He adopts the Portuguese names for his " Terra Corterealis, " namely, " Golfam de Merosro, " " Y. Dus de- monios, " " Cabo Marco, " " Ilha da fortuna, " " Baia dus medaus, " '' Eio de tormenta, " " Ylhas de caravillo, " " Baia de malvas, " etc.
