What reading level is An Autumn Tour in Spain in the Year 1859 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I remember being very much struck, years ago, with a statement of Disraeli's in " Contarini Fleming, " which at the moment I thought exag- gerated that the Spanish peasantry are the cleanest in Europe. Our Spanish experiences continually verified this assertion; for though Park Scenery. 257 often, as at Torrejon, our sleeping- quarters were rough and primitive to a degree, we could always lie down with a conviction of their perfect clean- liness, a remarkable fact, I think, when the isolation o...f the country and the warmth of its climate are kept in mind.
Torrejon had nothing to detain us next morn- ing, and through dehesas and despoUados (sheep- walks and uninhabited wastes) we continued our way to Trujillo, the park-like scenery of the ilex-woods being the predominating feature of the country. Soon after starting, Mr. Sykes discovered two enormous vultures, sitting, like birds of evil omen, on a decayed stump, and when our approach scared them away, it was with a heavy lethargic flight, as if they had been eating more than was good for them; while chattering magpies, whiter and larger than in England, and the pretty little jays we had seen before, were perpetually flitting across our path.
