What reading level is Memorials of the Clarke Family Formerly of the County of Northampton in Great book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Upon leaving Maderia, which lies in about 33° north latitude, we proceeded still further south, in order to obtain the benefit of the north-east trade winds, which blow almost uninterruptedly from that direction. We there found very pleasant weather, with an easterly breeze most of the time. Sometimes, however, it fell calm, and the surface of the ocean became as smooth as a millpond. Sometimes, however, these calms occurred when the sea was undu- lated into broad swells, which occasioned a muc...h more disagreeable pitching of the ship than when urged along by a stiff gale. During the continuance of one of these calms, we espied at some distance something floating upon the surface of the water, which experienced eyes knew to be a sea-turtle asleep. A boat was forthwith lowered and manned, which succeeded in capturing the gentleman, who being brought on board was stowed away in a hogshead of sea-water, when after remaining fasting for several days, he was manufactured into soup. Sometimes the monotony of the scene was enlivened or varied by an occasional shoal of por- poises, occasionally by a gang of dolphins, or by numbers of flying fish skipping out of the water; sometimes at a distance we ob- served the wake of a shark, and not unfrequently were we treated with the sight of a whale-spout, though but on one occasion did I have the satisfaction of observing one of these monsters of the deep close at hand.
