What reading level is The Beauties of the Boyne And Its Tributary the Blackwater book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
115 those of the sepulchral class. There can be little doubt that they are to be referred to Pagan times, before the use of the arch, or the advantages of mortar, were known, and were probably employed by some of the very early people of this island as places of security, temporary habitations, and granaries, for which latter purpose their dryness well fitted them. The two chambers and the passages just described are, in all probabi- lity, but portions of a large collection of other souterrains... ad- joining; and some elevations of the ground in the neighbouring plantation, which have a remarkably hollow sound, lend pro- bability to this conjecture. It is not unlikely to have been a troglodyte village, used as a granary as well as a hiding-place, by some of our Firbolg or Tuatha De Danaan aborigines. The place is well worthy of further investigation in these days of scientific antiquarian research ; and we are sure the proprietor would willingly aid such an undertaking.
Several subterranean chambers and passages, some of them similarly constructed, exist in Connaught and Munster; they are generally formed in the raised embankment, or within the precincts of an ancient fort or rath, and are by the peasants invariably attributed to the Danes, although we have no au- thority whatever for such a supposition.
