What reading level is Glimpses of California And the Missions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was nearly a half-century ago. On the walls of the room still hang maps and charts which they used ; and carefully preserved, with the tender reverence of which only poetic natures are capable, are still to be seen there the old atlases, primers, catechisms, gram- mars, reading-books, which meant toil and trouble to the merry, ignorant children of the merry and igno- rant people of that time.
The leathern covers of the books are thin and frayed by long handling; the edges of the leaves wor...n down as if mice had gnawed them : tattered, loose, hanging by yellow threads, they look far older than they are, and bear vivid record of the days when books were so rare and precious that each book did doubled and redoubled duty, passing from hand to hand and house to house. It was on the old Lan- caster system that Los Angeles set out in educating its children ; and here are still preserved the formal and elaborate instructions for teachers and schools on that plan; also volumes of Spain's laws for military judges in 1781, and a quaint old volume called "Secrets of Agriculture, Fields and Pastures, " written by a Catholic Father in 1617, reprinted in 1781, and held of great value in its day as a sure guide to success with crops.
