What reading level is Life And Liberty in America Or Sketches of a Tour in the United States And Can book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the south and west stretched the green hills of Vermont, and the higher peaks of Lake Champlain ; and to the north and east the long Laurentian range which forms the only bul- wark between Lower Canada and the polar blasts that sweep from Hudson's Bay and the Arctic Circle. The broad St. Lawrence wound its way through the prospect like a river of gold ; joined by the Riche- 218 THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
lieu, a smaller but equally brilliant thread in the mazy web of beauty. Montreal, with the twin t...owers of its cathedral and the tin roofs and spires of its numerous churches and ecclesiastical buildings glit- tered like a fairy city at the base of its own moun- tain ; while at every point in the nearer prospect on which the eye happened to rest might be caught the shimmer of a tin-covered spire, and underneath and around it a village, seemingly no larger than a wasp's nest or an ant-hill. It seemed from that height, looking over a country rather bare of trees, that here was the abode of a civilization as ancient as that of China, and that the population in those countless hamlets, bourgs, and villages, too numerous to subsist only by agriculture, must have long ago had recourse to trade and manufactures to provide themselves with the means of subsistence.
