What reading level is Cunningham Memoir No. 10 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He says: — ^^A curious matting is prepared at South Cape from the leaves of a species of pandanus, sewn together in squares of four feet with sei, a fibre of great strength. A wavy pattern is tastefully scratched upon it whilst green. This stufE is used as matting to sit or recline on, and when pretty well worn is converted into a girdle for the men. The women never use it, they wear the universal grass petticoat." An important result from the substance of which the mats are made, and the metho...d of their decoration, is that the design is scarcely conditioned by these two factors. The effect of plaiting on decorative art is well known, and everywhere mats illustrate this conditioning effect; but here the smooth surface permits the artist to transfer to the mat whatever designs may be preferred. As one might expect, the bird-scroll appears to be the basis of the patterns. I have been unable to work out these patterns as fully as they deserve ; for, judging from the material before me, the scroll pattern undergoes specializations and degenerations, which do not occur, or but to a very slight extent, on other objects.
