What reading level is The Romance of American Landscape book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Indeed, I have heard the most intelligent travellers confirm my own opinion, excepting in the subtle charni borrowed from the embellish- ments of art — the fairy chateaux and crumbling tower — ^its beauties are not rivalled by any sister scenes in the old world.
Here, with your permission, I will turn to a passage in Mr.
Willis's 'brief mentions' of American Scenery, which I see upon the table. ' Loch Katrine,' he says, ' at the Trosachs, is a miniature likeness of Lake George. It is the only l...ake in Europe that has at all the same style and degree of beauty.
The small, green islands, with their abrupt shores — the emerald depths of the water, overshadowed and tinted by the tenderest moss and foliage ; the lofty mountains in the back-ground, and the tranquil character of the lake, over which the wind is arrested and rendered powerless by the peaks of the hills and the lofty island-summits — are all points of singular resemblance.
Loch Katrine can scarce be called picturesque, except at the Trosachs, however; while Lake George, throughout all the mazes of its three hundred and sixty-five islands — there are said to be just this number — ^preserves the same wild and racy character of beauty.
