What reading level is Manners And Customs of the Principal Nations of the Globe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Danes are brave, but not adventurous. They would do more for defence than for glory. They are less cordial than the Germans, and less cheerful than their northern neighbors. They are faithful and honest, but not strongly marked with national pecu- liarities. They are addicted to the use of spirituous liquors, and the proverbial expression of a " drunken Dane " has some foundation in the national character.
Cards and dancing are the most common amusements, but these are not followed with muc...h spirit.
There are several universities, and every town has a primary school ; most of these are on the Lancas- terian plan. There is a library of four hundred and ten thousand volumes at Copenhagen, with several learned societies. The arts are not in a flourishing state, though Thorwaldsen, the sculptor, was a native of Denmark. The sciences are cultivated with suc- cess, but the literature is limited. There are some good popular songs and tolerable dramas. The gov- ernment is despotic in form, but mild in its adminis- tration.
