What reading level is Urban Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mother, parting from her offspring, should become a Roman matron under the likeinfluences; the lover who takes leave of his sweetheart is not apt tomar the general hilarity by any emotional folly. In fact, this system ofdelaying our parting sentiments until the last moment--this removal ofdomestic scenery and incident to a public theatre--may be said to beworthy of a stoical and democratic people, and is an event in our liveswhich may be shared with the humblest coal-passer or itinerant ven...derof oranges. It is a return to that classic out-of-door experienceand mingling of public and domestic economy which so ennobled thestraight-nosed Athenian.
So universal is this desire to be present at the departure of anysteamer that, aside from the regular crowd of loungers who make theirappearance confessedly only to look on, there are others who takeadvantage of the slightest intimacy to go through the leave-takingformula. People whom you have quite forgotten, people to whom you havebeen lately introduced, suddenly and unexpectedly make their appearanceand wring your hands with fervor.
