What reading level is Travels in Africa During the Years 1875 1886 volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Amongst other things he told me that the custom of purchasing a bride with thirty or forty or more spearheads, paid to the father, was confined to the lower circles. When a man of princely rank woos the daughter of a foreign ruler (and all are mostly foreign, rarely visiting each other), everything is formally transacted through go-betweens. The wooing must be preceded by repeated messages, with friendly gifts for the father, who thus becomes aware of the suitor's intentions. If the presents co...rrespond to his expect- ations, he sends the girl straight to the bridegroom. Then should she be rejected for any reason, the disgrace falls on the father, who has to return all the presents. Zemio's eldest daughter, who had formerly resided amongst the Arabs, was at present living near her father, to whom she caused much annoyance by obstinately refusing to accept a husband at his hands. She even attempted to commit suicide to escape his importunities, an extremely rare occurrence amongst Negroes.
