What reading level is The Country Curate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alphage, there was none, at least in my day, to be compared, either in point of manly beauty or rustic accomplishments, with Will Brockman. Will was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. His father, who, to use the colloquial phraseology of this coast, had followed the sea from his childhood, perished one stormy night, in a vain though gallant attempt to bring assist- ance to a vessel in distress ; and Will, who was then an infant, formed from that hour the only solace of a kind- hea...rted and amiable mother. The elder Brockman had, it appeared, been successful in his speculations. Whether THE SMUGGLERS. 105 these were always such as to defy scrutiny, or whether, in common with. , the rest of his townsmen, he deemed it no act of dishonesty to defraud the revenue as often as cir- cumstances Tvould allow, I cannot tell. All that I know is, that at his death he left his widow in possession of a comfortable dwelHng, situated on the extreme edge of my parish — of a sum in ready money, the amount of which no one accurately knew — of the whole and sole property in a barge and a pinnace — together with a couple of shares in a neat lugger, famous for its fast sailing, and called the Dreadnought.
