What reading level is Curiosities of Superstition And Sketches of Some Unrevealed Religions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It be- comes important, therefore, to propitiate them ; but this can be done only through the intervention of a Tadibe, or sorcerer ; who, on occasion, stimulates himself into a wildly excited condition, like the frenzy of the Pythean or Delphic priestess. When the credulous Samojede invokes his as- sistance, he attires himself in full necromantic costume : a kind of shirt, made of reindeer leather j and trimmed with red cloth. Its seams are similarly trimmed ; and the shoul- ders are decorated... with red cloth tags, or epaulettes. A visor of red cloth conceals his face, and upon his breast gleams a plate of polished metal.
Thus imposingly arrayed, the Tadibe takes his drum of reindeer skin, ornamented with brass rings, and, attended by a neophyte, walks round and round with singular state- liness, while invoking the presence of the spirits by a dis- cordant rattle. This gradually increases in violence, and THE SA VAGE RACES OF ASIA. 157 is accompanied by the droning incantation of the words of enchantment.
