What reading level is The Life of a Sportsman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Meynell's hounds, together with the extraordi- nary incidents which occurred in it, was listened to with much delight ; more especially by the two young ones, who glanced a significant look at each other, towards the conclusion of it, as much as to say, '* That is the country and those are the hounds for us.*' Sir John, indeed, began to reflect whether he were not pursuing a losing game by keeping six hunters in his own country instead of twice six in Leicestershire, and enjoy- ing fox-hunting ...in perfection. But there were reasons which more than counterbalanced this very strong inducement on his part. Independently of a wish to reside on his own property, in compliance with the death-bed request of his father, his pas- sion for the road quite equalled that for the chase, and for this purpose he could nowhere be so well situated as at home, for reasons that have already been detailed.
But to return to the journey down the road. The first stop was at Hounslow, where, according to the usage -of those days — slow compared with the present — the bearing reins were let down, and the noses of the horses plunged into a bucket of cold water, with a swallow or two each, and most refreshing must it have been to them, after toiling through ten miles of dust, for there were no watered roads in those days.
