What reading level is Philadelphia the Place And the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The roads were uncompromisingly bad, and the wagon jolted heavily over ruts and stones. Two entire days were passed in this misery. At the midway inn where the voyagers spent the night, they were all packed into a single garret room, called up the second morning at two-thirty A. M. , and sent off breakfastless at three. Mr. Twining appears to have been the most amiable Englishman who ever visited our shores. He praises everything in Philadelphia, from his very select board- ing-house " a privat...e house for the reception of mem- bers of Congress " to " the most esteemed article of an American breakfast, " buckwheat cakes. Even the monotonous sameness of the streets, he considers per- plexing rather than disagreeable. But the two days in the mail wagon strained even his good-humour, and he mildly insinuates in his diary that a leather strap, on which passengers could rest their backs, would be neither difficult nor expensive to adjust, and would add immeasurably to the comfort of travellers.
