What reading level is Narrative of a Journey Round the World Comprising a Winter Passage Across the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When we came here before the rainy season, how busy, how lively the streets were five or six schoon- ers at one time discharging cargo on the banks ; wagons press- ing around it to get their loads and start for the mines. People in the streets even ran sometimes at full speed, not to lose their valuable time ; merchants meeting at the corners exchanged a few hurried words, and on they went again to attend to their busi- ness. Where a man showed himself idling, he was sure of hav- ing twenty inq...uiries, one after the other, "If he did not want work, and what he could do ?" There was even a premium paid to those who would get good workmen for the different schooners or other places of business. Each man you spoke with had his own plans, and generally wanted hands to help him in accom- plishing them. On the landing, there were as many schooners as at that time, it is true, but every thing seemed dead on board, and if you saw a figure moving upon them, it was the cook who sat leisurely upon some empty cask, smoking his pipe, or the captain himself, who, once in a while, stuck his head out of the cabin to take a look at the clouds, and pulled it back again with a low muttered curse.
