What reading level is Locke Amsden ; Or, the Schoolmaster: a Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Let it not be inferred, that we would convey the idea, that the people of the country in which our scene is laid were generally as superstitious as some of the circumstances here represented to have taken place might seem to imply. They certainly were not so. And comparatively few locations, we presume, could have been found, where such arguments as we have put into the mouths of some of the good people of this uncultured district, would have been listened to a mo ment. But our observations, ...made during considerable travel and intercourse among the common classes of people in the Middle and Northern States, have apprised us, that instances of the prevalence of notions similar to those just mentioned are still to be found, and much oftener, too. Than we had formerly supposed. We have often come across isolated neighborhoods, even in the heart of intelligent com munities, where, to our surprise, we found all the exploded notions of witchcraft, sorcery, divination, and the like, still entertained ; and to an extent, indeed, that led us almost to doubt whether we had not, by some miracle or other, been carried back a century and a half, and set down among a clan of the immediate disciples of old Cotton Mather, who spent so much time and learning in making mystery and mischief about things which have no existence, except in imagination.
