What reading level is Impressions of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A remarkable characteristic of the Americans is the manner in which they have applied science to modern life.
This is apparent in the most cursory stroll through New York. In England an inventor is regarded almost as a 24 crazy man, and in too many instances invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the appli- cation of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth. There is no country... in the world where machinery is so lovely as in America.
I have always wished to believe that the line of strength and the line of beauty are one. That wish was realised when I contemplated Ameri- can machinery. It was not until I had seen the water-works at Chicago that I realised the wonders of machinery ; the rise and fall of the steel rods, the symmetrical motion of the great wheels is the most beautifully rhythmic thing I have ever seen. * *In a poem published in an American magazine on February 15th, 1882, Wilde wrote ** And in the throbbing engine room Leap the long rods of poUshed steel.
