What reading level is Notes of a Trip Around the World in 1894 And 1895 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then the nearest relative must go to the fire agent, who is alone authorized to sell the sacred fire, which he gets in a sheaf of straw or reeds; he then walks five times around the pyre, each time touching it with the straw on the sides and ends, and finally liberating the sheaf it bursts into a blaze, and touching the pile repeatedly it is all soon burning. One then sits watching the fire, occa- sionally putting the brands up so as to be more effective, until the body is consumed, or nearly s...o, the intestines are often not entirely burned, and I saw one of these fellows when the fire was nearly ended, take a pole, stick it into the half destroyed abdomen, and throw the remains into the river right before our eyes for the fish. Our appetite for fish in India failed after this. At last the attendant puts water on the coals and throws the ashes in the Ganges. It is said the government helps pay the cost of cremating the poor Hindoos.
The rich have plenty of wood and are usually well consumed, but the ashes must be thrown into the Ganges, for that is the great sacred puri- fier of body and soul.
