What reading level is Old Samoa: Or, Flotsam And Jetsam From the Pacific Ocean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After a time one was unfortunately killed, and not being able to gain any knowledge respecting the bird, I sent the surviving one to Sydney, by a friend, in 1843, hoping it would be recognized and described ; but nothing was known of it there, and my friend left it with a bird dealer in Sydney, and returned to report his want of success.
It died in Sydney, and the skin was subsequently sent to England with other skins for sale, including the skin of an Apteryx, from Samoa. Later on the skin of ...the Manu Mea was purchased by Lady Hervey, and subse- quently it came into the possession of Sir William Jardine, by whom it was described. Still nothing was known of its habitat, — but this bird which I had originally sent to Sydney from Samoa was the means of bringing it under the notice of the scientific world, and thus in some indirect manner of obtaining the object I had in view.
After my return to England, in 1846, the late Dr. Gray, of the British Museum, showed me a drawing of the bird, which I at once recognized ; as also a drawing of a species Digitized by Googk NATURAL HISTORY OF SAMOA 197 of Apteryx which had been purchased in the same lot of skins.
