What reading level is The Atlantic Monthly, volume 07, No. 39, January, 1861 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The New Zealand race, as a whole, iscertainly a very favorable type of barbarism, having but just emergedfrom an utterly savage condition, having been cannibals within onegeneration, and being the very identical people among whom were recordedthose wonderful cures of flesh-wounds to which Emerson has referred. Cook and all other navigators have praised their robust physical aspect, and they undoubtedly, with the Fijians and the Tongans, stand at thehead of all island races. They are admitted to... surpass our AmericanIndians, as well as the Kaffirs and the Joloffs, probably the finestAfrican races; and a careful comparison between New-Zealanders andAnglo-Saxons will, therefore, approach as near to an _experimentumcrucis_ as any single set of observations can. The following tables havebeen carefully prepared from those of Dr. Thomson, with the additionof some scanty facts from other sources, --scanty, because, as Queteletindignantly observes, less pains have as yet been taken to measureaccurately the physical powers of man than those of any machine he hasconstructed or any animal he has tamed.
