What reading level is Letters Written During a Trip to Southern India Ceylon in the Winter of 1876 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He said that a worse famine had never occurred within his experience of thirty-five years. That in Bengal last year, I think in Orissa, was, to use his own words, " a mere amusement " for the officials compared to the work which had to be done here now. With this information fresh in our ears we started in a hired carriage for a drive to the town and by the sea shore to witness the celebrated surf which breaks on the shore, not so much at this season as during the monsoon. Here along the shore ...and close to the pier we were brought at once into immediate contact with startling evidence of the famine. Thirty large steamers Avere anchored in the roadstead dis- ( 78 ) charging rice brought from Calcutta. Without straining the figure I may say that literally there were mountains of rice in bags on the beach already landed and heaped up. Barges and surf boats were plying backwards and forwards between the ships and the shore still unlading; the railway on the pier was in active work passing trucks on to the shore laden with bags to be added to the accumulated mountains.
