What reading level is Letters Written in a Mahratta Camp During the Year 1809, Descriptive of the Character, Manners, Domestic Habits, And Religious Ceremonies, of the Mahrattas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are not here quite so much troubled with thieves as at our last halting-place ; but instead of them we are pestered with snakes, scorpions, and a large species of yellow spider, whose body is nearly an inch in length, though the animal is quite innoxious. It is not uncommon to see men who will take up the most venomous snakes, and allow them to creep about their persons, with impunity : they pretend to do this by a certain inuntur, or charm ; and if we refuse them their claim to supernatural... powers, we must at least acknowledge some art by which they render so dangerous a creature quite harmless. I have known a Sipahee dig out one of these snakes, and keep him for several days in a cloth tied about his loins, feeding him daily with the utmost care and assiduity. Scorpions are easily rendered innocent by pinching their tails just below the sting ; which deprives the animal of the power of dart- ing it forward. It is, to be sure, rather a nice operation, but all that is requisite is to keep the hand behind and below the creature, who can only inflict a wound forwards and over its back.
