What reading level is The Land of Contrasts a Britons View of His American Kin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He goes in his thousands to see hasehall matclies, and takes a very keen and vociferous interest in their progress ; hut he himself has prohahly not liandled a chd) since he left college. No douht this contrast is gradually diminishing, and such games as lawn tennis and golf have made it practically a vanishing quantity in the North-eastern States ; hut as one goes West one can- not hut feel that hasehall and other sports, like dancing in China, are almost wholly in the hands of paid performers....
The national games of cricket and baseball serve very well to illustrate this, as well as other contrasts in the pastimes of the two nations. In cricket the line between the amateur and the professional has hitherto been very clearly drawn ; and Englishmen are apt to believe that there is something elevating in the very nature of the game which makes it shed scandals as a duck's back sheds water. The American view is, perhaps, rather that cricket is so slow a game that there is little scope for betting, with all its attendant excitement and evils.
