What reading level is Stories of the Irish Peasantry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'I'll tell ye what it is/ said Michael Gabbett, who was a regular whisky-shop orator — and, by the way, as the greater number of my readers do not know what a whisky-shop orator is, I will pause a moment in my tale to describe him. Be it remem- bered, that while beer stupifies its ordinary consumers, whisky renders them emaciated ; and, accordingly, our orator has a lean, yellow, haggard look ; his lips are thin, his teeth discoloured ; and even when he declaims coolly, which is seldom the case..., there is a tremor and twitching about his mouth that speaks of habitual intoxication, though the fever may not then be in its strength. His eye at such times has nothing in it ; it is not sober, but dull and bleared ; its natural fires have been long extinguished, and it is only after strong libations that those spiiHt-lamps blaze up, with a fierce and unearthly light, that renders the cadaverous aspect of his countenance still more fearful. His brows are shaggy and loose ; his hah- prematurely gray ; his beard unshaven, for his hand is so unsteady, that it cannot perform the necessary task ; and as he has lost credit even with an Irish barber, he cannot always pay for the operation.
