What reading level is The Philippine Islands And Their People a Record of Personal Observation And Ex book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the fearful tangles where we were often compelled to work, it was seldom pos- sible to creep up on a bird, or back away from it, after it was once seen ; so that we were usually obliged to adapt the charge used to the size of the game, and its distance.
On one point Bourns and I were never agreed. He wore thick sleeves to protect his arms from the thousand and one thorn-bearing pests in which the Philippine forests abound. I preferred to wear a sleeveless coat, keep my arms cool, and let the... thorns tear.
330 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS The one problem which we never satisfactorily solved was that of suitable head-gear. A man who is new to the country must wear a sun-hat, or run very serious risk of sunstroke if he has to cross open country. On the other hand, when it comes to quick work with a shotgun, he might about as well have his head in an inverted wash-tub ; while the big helmet is an unmiti- gated nuisance in forcing one's way through dense undergrowth, and seems to have an especial attraction for the " pull-back " thorns, which are forever snatching it from one's head.
