What reading level is Sylvan Musings Or the Spirit of the Woods book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fig was held in the highest estimation, in early times, for its nutritious qualities; and formed then, as now, a grateful repast to people whose primitive taste requires little else than fruits, vegetables, bread, and water. It was one of the articles of food allowed at the common tables established by Lycurgus ; and by the Athenians it was deemed of so much importance, in this point of view, that their ex- portation was strictly prohibited. A failure in the crop was considered by the Jews ...a national calamity; and when judgment was denounced against their land, this was always part of the curse, " There shall be no grapes on the vines, nor figs on the fig-tree. " Though this tree never attains any very considerable height, yet its broad mantling foliage forms a delightful shelter from the ardent rays of the sun in those burning climes. This is often beautifully alluded to in holy writ ; as in Micah, " And they shall sit every man under his 1-23 vine, and under his fig-tree, and none shall make them afraid.
