What reading level is Memoir of Nathaniel Hawthorne : With Stories Now First Published in This Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though the rain had ceased, the sky was all one cloud, and the darkness so intense that there seemed to be no world except the little space on which our lanterns glimmered.
Yet it was an impressive scene.
We were traversing the ' long level,' a dead flat between Utica and Syracuse, where the canal has not rise or, fall enough to re- quire a lock for nearly seventy miles. There can hardly be a more dismal tract of country.
The forest which covers it, consisting chiefly of white cedar, black ash,... and other trees that live in excessive moisture, is now decayed and deathstruck by the partial draining of the swamp into the great ditch of the canal.
Sometimes, indeed, our lights were reflected from pools of stagnant water which stretched far in among the trunks of the trees, beneath dense masses of dark foliage. But, generally, the tall stems and intermingled branches were naked, and brought into strong relief THE CANAL BOAT. 221 amid the surrounding gloom by the whiteness of their decay. Often we beheld the prostrate form of some old sylvan giant which had fallen and crushed down smaller trees under its immense ruin.
