What reading level is Glimpses of Three Coasts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is an accepted thing in Norway that no steamboat can be counted on either to arrive or depart within one, two, or three hours of its advertised time. The guide-books all state this fact ; so nobody who, thus forewarned, has chosen to trust himself to the dampskib has any right to complain if the whole plan of b, is journey is disarranged and frustrated by the thing's not arriving within four hours of the time it had promised. But it is not set down in the guide-books, as it ought to be, that... there is something else on which the traveller in Norwegian dampskibs can place no dependence whatever ; and that is the engaging before- hand of his stateroom. To have engaged a stateroom one week beforehand, positively, explicitly, and then, upon arriving on board, to be confronted by a smiling captain, who states in an off-hand manner, as if it were an every- day occurrence, that " he is very sorry, but it is impossible to let you have it ; " and who, when he is pressed for an explanation of the impossibility, has no better reason to give than that two gentlemen wanted the stateroom, and as the two gentlemen could not go in the ladies' cabin, and you, owing to the misfortune of your sex, could, therefore the two gentlemen have the stateroom, and you will take the one remaining untenanted berth in the cabin, this is what may happen in a Norwegian dampskib.
