What reading level is The Lake Dwellings of Switzerland And Other Parts of Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The preceding remarks have applied chiefly to those lake dwellings the characteristics of which belong to the earliest age, 306 BRONZE OBJECTS OF THE LAKE DWELLINGS.
or what is called the stone period. This most primitive mode of living came to an end either before or about the time when a new material came into use, much more adapted for tools and weapons than stone. This was bronze, or a mixture of copper and tin, which, by a very simple operation, could easily be made into any required form,... and which, as an article of trade, now began to be known in the Swiss districts. The exact point of time when this event happened, so important in the history of civilisation in Western Europe, and which contributed to the transformation and elevation of the physical condition of nations no less than the subsequent introduction of iron, cannot now be determined, even approximately, from the entire want of every chronological datum. Although the earliest inhabitants of these countries the Celts, when they were first known to the Greeks and Romans, appear to have been well provided with bronze, and to have shown no common skill in managing the latter metal, as exhibited in the products of their foundries, lately brought to light, as well as those deposited in graves and tumuli, yet no author has ever mentioned what could hardly have been passed by in silence that they made use in war of bronze swords, * daggers, and spears, such as we see in our museums ; and consequently the general use of these weapons must be thrown back into prehistoric times, and the first in- troduction of this material to an early part of the same period.
