What reading level is Rides On Railways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then again, the ceaseless enterprise and enormous powers of manufacture aresupported by a constantly-improving mechanical ingenuity, which seems tothose unaccustomed to such works nothing less than miraculous: as, forinstance, some of the inventions of Mr. Whitworth and of Mr. Roberts.
But all this is hidden from the eye of a stranger; and Manchester is a darkand dingy ledger, closely clasped, unless he comes prepared to open a goodaccount, or armed with letters of introduction of a more than o...rdinarilypressing nature. The gentleman who was all smiles while accepting yourcivilities, and energetically amusing himself on a tour of pleasure, hasscarcely time to look up from his desk to greet you when enthroned in hiscounting-house. The fact is, that these Manchester men rise early, workhard, dine at one o'clock, work again, and go home, some distance out oftown, to work or to sleep, --so they have no time for unprofitable hospitalityor civility.
We do not say this by way of idle reproach to the people of Manchester, whofollow their vocation, and do work of which we as Englishmen have reason tobe proud, but partly by way of warning to travellers who, armed with the sortof letters that have proved passports to everything best worth seeingthroughout the rest of Europe, may expect to pass an agreeable day or two inthe cotton metropolis; and partly by way of hint to politicians who, veryfond of inveighing against the cold shade of aristocracy, would findsomething worth imitating in the almost universal courtesy of modernnobility, which is quite consistent with the extremest liberality of abstractopinions.
