What reading level is Report to the Department of State of Silk And Silk Manufacturers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We refer to the attempts made for some time to gild and silver threads of silk. Some specimens of silk of this kind exhibited, denote processes still in a crude state, which do not yet supply any product capable of being used advantageously.
Another branch of dyeing, is, on the contrary, in a very advanced state sometimes too advanced. Reference is here made to the means used to swrcharge silks, so as to make them gain, if one wished it, as much as one hundred per cent, upon their normal weight....
This process has an honest origin, and some- times its applications are honest; but it is not infrequently used for purposes of gross decep- tion. For example, when the threads and tissues 81 are sold by length or by swface, these surcharges have no other result than to give a certain appearance to the article, while the thickness of the tissue plays no other part here than that which frequently results from the stiffness of stuffs of this sort, without any detriment to the buyer. But, on the other hand, when the threads, and even the tissues, are sold by weight, it makes the purchaser pay the price of silk for a con- siderable quantity of foreign matter, which some- times has not a fiftieth part the value of silk.
