What reading level is A Voyage to New Holland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is of the colour of a dry walnut shell, andvery hard. They have a small red gill on each side of their heads, likeears, strutting out downwards; but the hens have none. They are so strongthat one cannot hold them; and very hardy. They are very good meat, tender, and sweet; and in some the flesh is extraordinary white; thoughsome others have black flesh: but both sorts are very good. The nativestake them with dogs, running them down whenever they please; for here areabundance of them. You sha...ll see 2 or 300 in a company. I had severalbrought aboard alive, where they throve very well; some of them 16 or 18months; when they began to pine. When they are taken young they willbecome tame like our hens. The flamingos I have already described atlarge. They have also many other sort of fowls, namely pigeons andturtledoves; miniotas, a sort of land-fowls as big as crows, of a greycolour, and good food; crusias, another sort of grey-coloured fowl almostas big as a crow, which are only seen in the night (probably a sort ofowls) and are said to be good for consumptive people but eaten by noneelse.
