What reading level is My South African Year book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Gladstone, his predecessor, in the greater post under the Union, had the misfortune to arouse racial prejudice in the reprieve of a native from the death penalty, though strict justice is said to have been on his side. But strict justice has never become acclimatized in Africa. It is the land of passions, the land of tropical heats and humours, and one is apt to be influenced by them. It is only the rare man who can preserve impartiality in face of " colour. " Lord Buxton managed not to ar...ouse anybody's passions, for he was discretion itself a discretion tempered by tact and a faculty for comprehension which has been most precious. Nearly everyone praised him in Cape Town. Even the Dutch liked his quiet dignity, and the simplicity and sober ceremony of his receptions. The hospitality shown to synods and other Dutch assemblies struck just the right note. Parade they would have resented ; familiarity they would have looked doubt- fully upon as something suspect in an Englishman of the L 137 138 MY SOUTH AFRICAN YEAR official class ; but accessibility, the quality of gracious- ness without condescension, the habit of going and coming about the Union without fuss, and yet, in all seriousness, listening patiently and courteously to com- plaints, reminded them of the old days.
