What reading level is Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend And History, Selected From His Commentary On Pausanias' 'description of Greece,' book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The path turns round the northern foot of the lofty acropolis of Argos, and skirting the wide Argolic plain enters the valley of the Charadrus or Xerias, as it is now called. This is a long narrow valley of somewhat monotonous aspect, enclosed by barren and rocky hills, and barred at the THE ROAD TO ARCADIA 307 farther end by a steep mountain, on which, when I saw it far away on a bright April morn- ing, purple shadows rested. The bed of the river is broad and stony, sometimes several hundred y...ards in width ; it is generally dry, but after heavy rains the spates that come roaring down it from the mountains are much dreaded.
Flocks of sheep and goats feed in the valley ; the herdsmen carry the usual long staves tipped with crooks, and sometimes a gun. Trains of laden mules or asses, conducted by peasants, also met us. The head of the valley, imme- diately under the mountain barrier, is very picturesque. The bottoni is partly covered with shrubs and trees, among which (for the place was then in its spring beauty) I noticed the broom and the hawthorn, both in flower, also wild roses, and a tree with a lovely purple bloom, which I believe to have been the Judas-tree.
