What reading level is Riviera Nature Notes a Popular Account of the More Striking Plants And Animals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the soldiers had gone past, and the danger was over, the Virgin, justly incensed, cursed the impious pea plant.
If the Chick Pea were permitted to speak in its DRY FRUITS. 237 own defence, it might very well plead that it is not easy for a plant scarcely a foot high to shelter two grown-up people and a baby, not to mention the mule : " A 1'impossible nul n'est tenu ! " But, at any rate, the sticky and spiteful little vegetable might have abstained from making a noise so as to bring the sol...diers to the spot.
We must admit that the Chick Pea richly deserved the Virgin's malediction. Cursed or not, this pea is insipid to the last degree. Yet as a food it is considered nutritious, and when roasted it will sustain life longer than any other substance ; at least, so they say. I wonder if this is the pulse which we read of in history as forming the sole diet of those fierce Arab conquerors who swept northward over Palestine, and westward along the coast of Africa.
The Chick Pea is ground and mixed with Chicory to the extent of fifty per cent.
