What reading level is Our Woodlands Heaths And Hedges a Popular Description of Trees Shrubs Wild book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among the grandest of these ancient Yews is that in Buckland churchyard, about a mile from Dover, the trunk of which measures twenty-four feet in circumference, and is remarkable for its grotesque contortions, and the strange shapes of vegetable anatomy its parts display.
The Yew in Tisbury churchyard, Dorsetshire, is an enormous specimen, with a trunk thirty-seven feet in circumference, and having a hollow interior, entered by THE YEW. 81 a rustic gate, and capable of holding several persons. ...Near Staines is a Yew whose age is supposed to exceed a thousand years. But, perhaps, the most remarkable Yew in Britain is that in the churchyard of Fort- ingal, in Perthshire, which is supposed, on good grounds, to have been a tree at the commencement of the Chris- tian era. It has now become a mere shell, great part of the trunk having fallen in, before which its circum- ference measured more than fifty-six feet.
The heart-wood of the Yew is very hard and fine- grained, qualities which, in conjunction with its exceed- ingly beautiful shades and veinings of rich brown and red, render it the finest of all native woods for purposes of cabinet-making and turnery- work ; and the knotted root stumps of the old trees are especially curious and varied in their markings.
