What reading level is Sketches of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were attacked by a Moorish army, the place carried by assault, numbers slaugh- tered on the spot, and many on board the shipping, to which they flew for refuge. The captain of one very large vessel, crowded with men, women, and children, finding he could neither defend, or fly with them, either scorning to yield to, or fearing the cruelty of the Moors, blew her up, and perished with two thousand souls, in the explosion.
There is something inexpressibly awful in that kind of fate, that imme...diate dis- solution of soul and body, that entire annihilating destruction of the frame. The peaceful and soft loveliness of the scene near this point of Bandel, as from 158 CONVENT.
the belfry of the convent you gaze upon it, gives such a tranquillizing tone to your feelings, that, for the relation of the fact I have just recorded, you are ill prepared ; and it operates for the mo- ment, as it would after a sweet sleep in a shady grove, to stretch forth your hand and find it touched and chilled by the remains of a skeleton, and to be suddenly reminded, that where you had been dreaming with delight, a fellow-creature, perhaps not many weeks before, had ex- pired in agony.
