What reading level is Memory Harbour Essays Chiefly in Description book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then you remembered where they had come from, and what they had been doing, and you imagined, only very dimly, what a complete hell that laager must have been, with 113 H MEMORY HARBOUR batteries pouring lyddite into it, horses being dis- embowelled every minute (there was no cover for the horses), waggons catching fire and burning out little children, even the wounded exposed and suffering new agonies. Then you looked at the black tail-coats and the draggled, filthy dresses. Could such dirty, ...untidy people be capable of so grand a heroism ? Surely there was some mistake. But there they stood, and there behind them was that blood-stained shambles that they had held so dearly. Surely, then, there must be something great and noble in their leader, that he could have inspired them with such bravery ? You looked at him — a small, thick-set man, shabbily dressed, dirty, with, one would have said, rather a cruel face and sulky demeanour. No, there was no personal magnetism there.
But look closer, draw nearer, join this little group, listen to what they are singing, and you have the secret of the patriotism that made that war so painful to all true patriots, whatever their country.
