What reading level is Four Years in Great Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have never been in a senate or upper house of any one of the American states where this is practised. The Senate of the American Con- gress is altogether the most dignified body of the kind, whose deliberations I have ever attended ; and the House of Representatives, in some respects, is the farthest in the other extreme. It is true, they are not so uproarous as the British House of Commons. There are obvious reasons for these distinguishing features in both.
In the lower House of the America...n Congress, the busi- ness is done before dinner ; every member has his desk, his stationary, and ample room to work. There he sits with his hat on ; reads his papers ; writes all his letters, seals and despatches them ; — in short, does all his business, as a correspondent and as a statesman, and redeems his time out of the house for society. The members walk about, assemble in groups, chat, and do any sort of business, in a manner as open and careless, as on a merchants' exchange in a commercial emporium — and that, too, while a member is making his speech, if it be not interesting and command- ing enough to claim attention.
