What reading level is Stories of Old Sydney book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wilkinson and Baughan is well described by the late Norman Selfe, to whom I am indebted for much information. Mr. Selfe writes : " In December, 1793. The rival mill houses (erected a little south of Bridge Street on the old Marine Parade) were ready for their tiled roofs, and on the 10th of March, 1794, the first trial of Baughan's mill was made. It was driven by nine men, who walked in a circle like sailors around a capstan head, and, after it got into good working order, ground fifty-three po...unds of wheat in seventeen minutes. Wilkinson's second mill was started at the end of April, 1794, and was much larger than his first one at Parramatta, being worked by six men instead of two, who, instead of going round in a circle as with Baughan's mill, walked inside a large wheel like squirrels or white mice in a cage. (The diameter of this wheel was 22 feet).
" After much time had been lost through the wheels in A\ ilkinson's machine going wrong, the whole thine; was 34 STORIES OF OLD SYDNEY abandoned; the responsibility for the failure was laid princi- pally on the timber used for the cog wheels not being seasoned, and thus causing them to give way.
