What reading level is Fifty Years in Ceylon : An Autobiography ; Edited By His Daughter, A. Skinner, With a Preface By M. Monier-Williams book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
102 FIFTY TEARS IN CEYLON.
But to return from this digression. Much as I had been led to expect from the extremely beautiful approach to this superb little island, I was agreeably surprised in my expectations being more than realised.
The first object which strikes the visitor on arriving at Penang is the excellent landing-place or jetty, pro- jecting for a considerable distance into the harbour ; it is built of cut granite, having an inclined plane about twelve feet wide in the centre and a fl...ight of steps on either side ; it is paved with slabs of granite and covered in with a substantial tiled roof, affording delightful shelter. The jetty is about one hundred feet by forty.
Directly we landed we were assailed by " link boys," who contended for our patronage of their master's vehicles, which are exactly similar to the palanquin carriages used throughout India, drawn by small Sumatra ponies and led by a horse-keeper or " syce." The palanquins are extremely clean and com- fortable, and the greatest convenience to strangers; they seemed to be in much requisition, for the natives use them as much as the Europeans.
