What reading level is Anahuac : Or, Mexico And the Mexicans, Ancient And Modern book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If these were simple systems of counting years, or even if, althoughdifficult, they had some advantages to offer, we might suppose that twodifferent races in want of a system to count their years by, haddevised them independently. But, in fact, both the Asiatic and theMexican cycles are not only most intricate and troublesome to work, butby the constant liability to confound one cycle with another, they leadto endless mistakes. Hue says that the Mongols, to get over thisdifficulty, affix a spec...ial name to all the years of each king's reign, as for instance, "the year Tao-Kouang of the fire-ram;" apparently notseeing that to give the special name and the number of the year of thereign, and call it the 44th year of Tao-Kouang, would answer the samepurpose, with one-tenth of the trouble.
Not only are the Mexican and Asiatic systems alike in the singularprinciple they go upon, but there are resemblances in the signs usedthat seem too close for chance. [20] The other arguments which tend toprove that the Mexicans either came from the Old World or had in someway been brought into connexion with tribes from thence, areprincipally founded on coincidences in customs and traditions.
