What reading level is The Travels of Mungo Park book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When war compels him to abandon the delightful spot in which he first drew his breath, and seek for safety in some other kingdom, his time is spent in talking about the country of his ancestors ; and no sooner is peace restored, than he turns his back upon the land of strangers, rebuilds with haste his fallen walls, and exults to see the smoke ascend from his native village.
The other species of African warfare is distinguished by the appellation of tegria, "plundering or stealing. " It arises ...from a sort of hereditary feud which the inhabitants of one nation or district bear towards another. No im- mediate cause of hostility is assigned, or notice of attack given ; but the inhabitants of each watch every opportunity to plunder and distress the objects of their animosity by predatory excursions. These are very common, particularly about the beginning of the dry season, when the labour of the harvest is over, and provisions are plentiful. Schemes of vengeance are then meditated. The chief man surveys the number and activity of his vassals, as they brandish their spears at festivals, and, elated with his own import- ance, turns his whole thoughts towards revenging some depredation or insult, which either he or his ancestors may have received from a neighbouring state.
