What reading level is The Hindoos .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The characters of the alphabet are not learned, as in Europe, by being pointed out in a book, and having their names pronounced aloud. The boy first writes them with a stick or with his finger upon the ground ; next upon a palm-leaf with an iron stylus or a reed ; and lastly upon a green plan* tain leaf. From the simple characters he proceeds to the compound, to words, and the figures of arithmetic. During this period of their education, all the boys in the school, with a monitor at their head,... stand up twice a day, and repeat their lessons.
The schools open early in the morning, and close at sunset ; but about four or five of the hottest hours of the day are given up to play and refreshment.
Corporal punishment is permitted. Though their gains are small, the schoolmasters, who are all Sudras or Brahmins, are generally respectable men.
While engaged in teaching they generally sit cross- legged, upon an antelope or tiger->skin, or on a mat of palm-leaves, spread upon the ground opposite their pupils ; and their appearance and demeanour ^ qjrave and venerable.
