What reading level is A Tour Through the Upper Provinces of Hindostan Comprising a Period Between the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Ramzaan ends by a grand feast- ing.
The third is the commencement of their new year, computed by the lunar month, when the property of every man is estimated, and a tenth of it collected to support the poor. On this oc- casion they cleanse, thoroughly repair, and beautify their dwellings.
A fourth is called the Moharum, to comme- morate the deaths of Hussan and Houssein, two brothers, who were killed on the plains of Ker- bela, near Mecca, in endeavouring to defend each other. It commences ...on the 10th of Octo- ber, and lasts ten days ; during which the Ma- 83 hometans wear green turbans, their mourning colour, as is yellow that of rejoicing. During this period they march in procession through the streets, following a decorated bier contain- ing two coffins, round which they occasionally discharge fire-arms to denote the cause, flourish- ing drawn swords, &c. It is extremely danger- ous for a person of a different persuasion to touch any part of this paraphernalia ; for those who accompany it are worked up to such a pitch of fanaticism, that they would not hesitate to sa- crifice him on the spot.
