What reading level is Among Horses in Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The majority of the officers of the Guards speak French or German, or both, though not so much as formerly ; because Russia for the Russians is the policy of the day and quite right too. In other times, it was Russia for the foreigners. In Russia, education beyond the three R's is chiefly confined to the acquisition of foreign languages, which principle acts well in a country devoted to expansion. The knowledge of languages, as we all know, is a means, not an end. It was said that Mezzofanti sp...oke fifty languages, and had nothing particular to tell in any of them. Being fairly polyglot in European and Eastern languages, I can say with some authority that learning a language for ordinary purposes is a mere effort of memory which demands no exer- GUARD REGIMENTS 31 cise of the reasoning- faculties. According- to Dr. Le Bon, o o if horses could only speak and write, they would gain all competitive examinations, so retentive are their memories.
