What reading level is Mexico: Picturesque, Political, Progressive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The books are evidently not in- tended for summer reading, nor for a people living on the high-pressure principle that obtains in America, which makes the incessant and furi- ous activity of the steam-engine the highest ex- ample for human imitation. When illustrated, the cuts are so poor, and of such ludicrous horror, that they would turn the deepest sentiment into ridicule. Above all, they are enormously dear.
Such a scale of prices would not be possible in a country which counted a large num...ber of readers of fiction among its population. With the appetite for such intellectual refection comes a garnishing of the dish in which it is served, as well as a cheapening of the cost of refreshment. I am not altogether sure but that the demand for these 1 56 MEXICO — PICTURESQUE books, although so small in proportion to the num- ber of individuals, does not show a higher degree of appreciation than our omnivorous devouring of odds and ends. When, in despite of coarse tex- ture, rude letterpress, very low art, and very high prices, a book runs through six or eight editions, it is reasonable to suppose some higher motive in its perusal than the criminal one of killing time.
