What reading level is Observations On the Andamanese book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The turtle hunters in like manner use pork during this probationary year, and during this period honey must not be tasted. This is apparently done for the purpose of ascertaining whether the individual is able to support a family.
The marriage ceremony is simple, a man about 1 6 or 1 8 is en- gaged to a girl of 13 or 15 belonging to a different family, with the consent of the girl's guardian, who is generally the chief of the tribe. On the marriage day, they are seated apart from the others, an...d pass their time in staring at one another. As the shades of the evening set in, the girl's guardian advances, and taking the hands of the pair, joins them together ; they then retire into the jun- gles where they pass their honey-moon. On the bridegroom's return to the tribe with his bride Jeedgo, crying and da*ieing are kept up with great spirit. Subsequent to marriage, they are not so useful as previously for the general welfare of the community, the married woman, termed Ckamah, has now to erect her husband's hut and attend to his requirements, consequently she is not ordered about by the chief.
