What reading level is Picturesque New Zealand book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It is refreshing, after being steamed in Whaka and Tikitere, to make a tour of the Cold Lakes. These lakes are pretty, but years ago, when forests completely sur- rounded them, they were more attractive still. Around neither are there high mountains, the most imposing heights being Matawhaura, an ancient cliff-spurred and wooded Maori burial-place, at the eastern end of Lake Rotoiti. On the south side of this lake is the suicide cliff of Motutawa, over which many Maoris hurled themselves long... ago.
A noteworthy fact about Rotoiti is its phenomenal, unaccountable rise and fall. Its fall, sometimes amount- ing to two feet, Maori tradition attributes to a subter- ranean outlet, but none has been discovered.

Eleven miles long and deeply set between precipitous walls and high wooded slopes at the base of the Huiarau Range, its surface is two thousand feet above the sea, and in its most profound parts its bottom is nearly eight hundred and fifty feet below its ripples.
