What reading level is History of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may readily be presumed that ofttimes they are reproached their whole lives long by the dullards who have come into their A BETEL -BOX.
94 THE PEACTICE OF SUTTEE possessions, and who must give them maintenance, for that they were so frail in their love for their husband that they would not die with him.
Since the husbands, when death is nigh, urge their wives to die with them, either by being burnt or buried alive, and since we have seen in what fashion the burn- ing taketh place, some may r...eadily be eager to know how matters go when a wife is buried alive with her dead husband. To satisfy the curious herein, I shall also relate the fashion which the heathen have in the burying of these wives; the which I have not from hearsay, like the foregoing, but I myself have seen it there.
The preparations for the burning* and the burying of the wives are one and the same, the difference is only in the burying itself. When the wife hath bathed in the pool, in manner as the wives who be burnt, then fareth she with pipes, drums, bassoons, and such like tokens of joy, to the melancholy pit which is digged for her, where she findeth her dead husband.
