What reading level is A Northern Summer Or Travels Round the Baltic Through Denmark Sweden Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" One morning presented a very singular spec- tacle. A number of well dressed w^omen, walking in pairs, fastened by the arm to each other w ith cords, with their band- boxes in their hands, and each couple attended by a police officer, were veiy quietly and decorously marching to the Em- peror's cotton-mills, which are correctional houses of industry for ladies of this description. There were no repining looks amongst them, not a pouting lip, so great in general is the constitutional submission... to the law in the north. Upon enquiry, I found that a man had been violently ill-treated in the haunts of these Idalian goddesses, and that upon the af- fair being represented to the Emperor, he ordered three hun- dred of them to be marched off for a few months, as above mentioned. How the list was filled up, whether by ballot, or promiscuously, I know not. Passing by the senate in ivhich the nobles assemble to digest and discuss such laws as o o :2 z' 284 NEW CODE OF LAWS* the Emperor may chuse to submit to their consideration, the image of Justice which adorns the right hand side of the grand entrance towards the statue of Peter the Great, attracted my notice ; she was bhndfolded as usual, but the equipoise of her scales was destroyed : a wag who some time since had lost his cause, in consequence, as he thought, of the venality of his judges, between frolic and pique had dexterously cast a copec into one of them, and had thus kicked up the beam.
