What reading level is Six Months in America volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I IN AMERICA. 75 have heard a horse described as a " raal smasher at trotting, " and a highway robbery considered as a " pretty middling tough piece of busi- ness ; " with a vast number more of the same kind. I beg it may be understood, that I mean these remarks to apply chiefly to the middle and lower classes of Americans: the language of every one is perfectly intelligible, and as I have before remarked, there is no patois : I think it should rather be called a "slang. " There is also much le...ss of the nasal twang than I had been taught to expect in American parley. Still I was informed, that many Americans when they hear a man talk, will instantly mention with certainty the coun- try in which he has been long resident, being able to detect some words, accents, or expres- sions peculiar to each state. The English language does not contain words enough for 76 SIX MONTHS them. Tlie word congressional is a fair coin- age from " Congress, " like the word par- liamentary from parliament. But a member of congress is said to be deputized ; and a per- son in danger, to be jeopardized.
