What reading level is Olden Time in New York book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those who remained in the country built their houses under the guns of the fort at first for pro- tection ; therefore Pearl street was the first street. I find by an account in my possession ; that in 1686 there were 16 streets in the city, namely, Broadway, Pearl, High, Low, Brewer or Stone, Prince, King, Exchange, New, Bever, Mackvelt, Bridge, Broad, Smith, Dock, and Smiths Valley or Yley, now Queen street. Many British subjects must have come over and settled here, as appears from the names ...of some of the streets. I find by a census taken of the inhabitants of New York in 1697. There were Whites, 3727 Colored, 575 f Total, 4202 Allowing eight to a house, there must have been about 500 houses at this time. By an account taken in 1678 there were 343 houses containing 3430 inhabitants, or ten to a house. To see the amazing increase of the city, I have collected the following account of inhabitants and houses at dif- ferent periods : Years, Houses, Inhabitants.
1615, 4, 30.
1678, 343, 3430.
