What reading level is Early Australian Voyages: Pelsart, Tasman, Dampier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We saw nohouses at either place, and I believe they have none, since the formerpeople on the island had none, though they had all their families withthem.
Upon returning to my men I saw that though they had dug eight or ninefeet deep, yet found no water. So I returned aboard that evening, andthe next day, being September 1st, I sent my boatswain ashore to digdeeper, and sent the seine within him to catch fish. While I stayedaboard I observed the flowing of the tide, which runs very swift here, ...sothat our nun-buoy would not bear above the water to be seen. It flowshere (as on that part of New Holland I described formerly) about fivefathom; and here the flood runs south-east by south till the lastquarter; then it sets right in towards the shore (which lies here south-south-west and north north-east) and the ebb runs north-west by north. When the tides slackened we fished with hook and line, as we had alreadydone in several places on this coast; on which in this voyage hitherto wehad found but little tides; but by the height, and strength, and courseof them hereabouts, it should seem that if there be such a passage orstrait going through eastward to the great South Sea, as I said one mightsuspect, one would expect to find the mouth of it somewhere between thisplace and Rosemary Island, which was the part of New Holland I came lastfrom.
