What reading level is Keel And Saddle a Retrospect of Forty Years of Military And Naval Service book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Neither is a savage liable to this complaint ; for, should he escape the casualties of quarrels and war and epidemics, he is likely to live long.
The wild tension of his energies and passions, the sharp spur given to his faculties by their constant exercise in the service of the instinct of self preservation, all tend to maintain the vigor of his powers, and to counterbalance the effects of habitual sloth and frequent excesses. But, when the constitu- tion lacks one or the other of these stimul...i, there seems to be a tendency to early decay. It is not intellectual exercise that is wanting, or that given by education ; neither is it bodily exercise, for Pitcairners have enough of both, but it is the exercise of other mixed powers implanted within us, the pas- sions of hope and fear, the desire of achievement, and the triumph of success. The mere animal enjoyment of life, for a while, may be a substitute for these in early youth ; but it cannot outlast natural growth ; and, in the mechanical pro- longation of it which follows, the faculties seem to wane in a gentle decline.
