What reading level is A Journey in the Seaboard Slave States : With Remarks On Their Economy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Then, with some new store goods for his family and his "people;" molasses, sugar, and coffee, and a new coffee-mill, or other Down-east notion, to return leisUrely as he went, so that, when he reaches home, two or three weeks' absence shall make his arrival something of an event.
PLANK-EOADS.
Plank-roads, it will be obvious, from these considerations, are admirably adapted to all the circumstances of this country.
They suit the habits of the people, and the value of land be- ing small, and the
...country heavily timbered, they may be built at a low cost. On them the farmer may drive his wagon, as he has been accustomed in the Winter, but carrying double his usual load, and in less time, and with much less liability to accidents.
The first plank-road in the State of New York was laid, I believe, in 1844, and in 1846 there were several in opera- tion ; and the public, generally, began to be informed of their mode of construction and their advantages.
It is creditable to the citizens of North Carolina, that they so soon appreciated the peculiar advantages ofiered them in the invention, and took measures to avail themselves of it.
