What reading level is A Journey Due North Being Notes of a Residence in Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is but one room on the ground-floor : a suffi- ciently vast apartment, of which the walls are of logs in all their native roundness, and the ceiling also of logs, but on which, to be genteel, some imper- fect attempts at squaring have been made. There is A COUNTRY HOUSE. 195 not a glimpse of white-washing, painting, or paper- hanging to be seen. The great Kussian painter and decorator, DirtofF, has taken the chamber in hand, and has toned down walls, and ceiling, and flooring to one agree...able dingy grey. There is not much dust about ; no great litter, where all is litter ; not over- many cobwebs in the corners. The dirt is concrete. It is part of the party walls ; and I think that a thoroughly good scrubbing would send the Starosta's house tumbling about his ears. There are two windows to the room ; one is a show-window a large aperture, filled with a peculiar dull, grey, sheenless glass. The panes are so gently and uniformly darkened with dirt, that the window serves much more to prevent imper- tinent wayfarers from looking in, than to assist the inmates of the mansion in looking out.
