What reading level is The Life And Travels Also An Account of the Progress of African Discovery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The operation is simply as follows : A portion of sand or clay (for the gold is sometimes found in a brown-coloured clay) is put into a large calabash, and mixed with a sufficient quantity of water. The woman whose office it is, then shakes the calabash in such a manner as to mix the sand and water toge- ther, and give the whole a rotatory motion at first gently, but afterwards more quick, until a small por- tion of sand and water, at every revolution, flies over the brim of the calabash. The s...and thus separated is only the coarsest particles mixed with a little muddy water. After the operation has been continued for some time, the sand is allowed to subside, and the water poured off; a portion of coarse sand, which is now uppermost in the calabash, is removed by the hand, and fresh water being added, the operation is repeated until the water comes off almost pure. The woman now takes a second calabash, and shakes the sand and water gently from the one to the other, reserving that portion of sand which is next the bottom of the calabash, and which is most likely to contain the gold.
