What reading level is The Discovery of Guiana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a nation was written of by Mandeville, whose reportswere holden for fables many years; and yet since the East Indies werediscovered, we find his relations true of such things as heretofore wereheld incredible (Mandeville, or the author who assumed this name, placedhis headless men in the East Indian Archipelago, the fable is borrowedfrom older writers, Herodotus &c). Whether it be true or no, the matteris not great, neither can there be any profit in the imagination; formine own part I saw... them not, but I am resolved that so many people didnot all combine or forethink to make the report.
When I came to Cumana in the West Indies afterwards by chance I spakewith a Spaniard dwelling not far from thence, a man of great travel. And after he knew that I had been in Guiana, and so far directly westas Caroli, the first question he asked me was, whether I had seen any ofthe Ewaipanoma, which are those without heads. Who being esteemed a mosthonest man of his word, and in all things else, told me that he hadseen many of them; I may not name him, because it may be for hisdisadvantage, but he is well known to Monsieur Moucheron's son ofLondon, and to Peter Moucheron, merchant, of the Flemish ship that wasthere in trade; who also heard, what he avowed to be true, of thosepeople.
