What reading level is Westward Hoe for Avalon in the New Found Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Giving up, then, his intended commercial voyage to Naples, the author came straight to England to fulfil Easton's behest, but he was forestalled : ere his arrival a pardon had been sent the pirate from Ireland, and so he says, I " lost both my labour FOR AVALON. 13 and charges. " But did Easton profit as he desired by this fulfilment of his wish ? No. The bearer of the pardon was not zealous, it seems, in the repentant pirate's behoof, and by " a too much delaying of time " wore out Easton's pa...tience. So the pirate, leaving the coast of Barbary, where he had promised to hover doubtless alleviating the tedium of suspense by snapping up maritime trifles " sailed to the Straights of Gibraltar, and was afterwards entertained by the Duke of Savoy, under whom he lived rich. " Thus in that somewhat free and easy time a pirate owning ten good ships rich with gold, and full of fighting men, was evidently a personage whom sovereign princes were by no means prompt to snub.
Two years elapse, and we again find our author off the Newfoundland coast ; this time in more respectable com- pany, that of Sir Henry Main waring, whose authority was supported by " five good mips ftrongly provided, " and from him the author returned straight to England instead of taking, as he had intended, a commercial trip to Marseilles.
