What reading level is Transatlantic Sketches Comprising Visits to the Most Interesting Scenes in Nort book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
75 Those who are superficially acquainted with the Indians, complain of the drudgery that the women are subjected to : thus they see them en route, first the husband, with upright carriage, bearing only his light arms ; behind him, in single file, walk the women carrying the heavy burdens: then again the women are seen weeding in the fields, drawing water, collecting fire-wood, and preparing the food ; whilst all this time the man may be lazily hanging his legs and arms out of his hammock ; but... then it must be considered that on a journey his hands ought to be free to guard against surprise ; that he clears the fields, builds the coorial and the logic, hunts and fishes so that the division of labour is not unequal.
It is a very painful reflection, that although the colony annually pays the Protectors, for presents, provisions, Postholders' salaries, &c. About 3000, in order to induce the Indians to remain in British Guiana, yet the office of Postholder has been so shamefully abused, that the Indians are yearly and rapidly decreasing in numbers.
