What reading level is Hand-Book of British Guiana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The traveller in the interior meets on all sides evidences of enormous volcanic activity in past ages, and it is no doubt due to this cause that the ^sandstone, which is often considerably metamorphosed at its points of contact with the vol- canic rock, has so far been found destitute of fossils. This is the only system in the colony in which remains of the organic life of past ages can be expected to occur, and it is possible that such may yet be found, but on the contrary it may be proven by ...future researches that volcanic action and local metamorphism has been destructive of all such remains.
Throughout the conglomerate of the sandstone formation jasper pebbles of all shapes and sizes are of common occurrence, while in other parts of the group finely mottled varieties of catlinite and soapstone, often most regularly and beautifully veined, occur in considerable quantities.
On the confines of the colony, near its south-western limits, extensive savannahs stretching westward to the Brazils take the place of the forest-covered granite and sandstone regions.
