What reading level is The Life of Captain Matthew Flinders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was in Botany Bay in the beginning of 1788, and, if he did pass through Torres Strait, and come round to this coast, aswas his intention, it would probably be about the middle or latter end ofthat year, or between thirteen and fourteen years before theInvestigator. My opinion is not favourable to this conjecture; but I havefurnished all the data to enable the reader to form his own opinion uponthe cause which might have prostrated the woods of these islands. " The passage is worth quoting, i...f only for the interesting allusion toLaperouse, whose fate was, at the time when Flinders sailed and wrote, anunsolved mystery of the sea. Captain Dillon's discovery of relics atVanikoro, in 1826, twelve years after the death of Flinders, informed theworld that the illustrious French navigator did not pass through TorresStrait, but was wrecked in the Santa Cruz group. * (* See the author'sLaperouse, Sydney 1912 pages 90 et sqq. ) The fire, so many signs of whichwere observed on Kangaroo Island, was in all probability caused naturallyin the heat of a dry summer.
