What reading level is Anson's Voyage Round the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The eastern monsoon was now, we reckoned, fairly settled, and we had aconstant gale blowing right upon our stern, so that we generally ran fromforty to fifty leagues a day. But we had a large hollow sea pursuing us, which occasioned the ship to labour much, whence we received great damagein our rigging, which was grown very rotten, and our leak was augmented;but happily for us our people were now in full health, so that there wereno complaints of fatigue, but all went through their attendance o...n thepumps, and every other duty of the ship, with ease and cheerfulness.
FORMOSA.
The 3rd of November, about four in the afternoon, we saw the island ofBotel Tobago Xima, and by eleven the next morning got a sight of thesouthern part of the island of Formosa. In the evening we were surprisedwith a view of what we at first sight conceived to have been breakers, but on a stricter examination we found them to be only a great number offires on the island of Formosa. These, we imagined, were intended by theinhabitants of that island as signals for us to touch there; but thatsuited not our views, we being impatient to reach the port of Macao assoon as possible.
