What reading level is Putnam's Monthly 5 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In most of the .towns, bread enough to serve two or three men for a meal would be bought for a halfpenny. Fat mutton stewed with rice, and served up with a dressing of sour milk, was the favorite dish of the Turks, and one which the abundance of mutton enabled them to indulge in very freely. Large tracts of territory were occupied by shepherds, with flocks of two or three thousana sheep, feeding from city to city. Wine also was much cheaper than anywhere in Christendom, yet, as a prohibited art...icle, not everywhere to be had.
"For though," says our author, "in that point Mahomet's wise order suffers •violence, yet with the better part it prevails, and makes some drink wine with scruple, others with danger. The baser sort, when taken drunk, are often bastinadoed on the bare feet; and I have seen some, after a fit of drunken- ness, lie a wnole night crying and praying to Mahomet for intercession, so that I could not sleep nea^ them." Among other drinks employed as a substitute for wine, the following de- scription is given of a beveraze unknown in England when this book was pub- lished, and for many years after, but to us suflBciently familiar.
