What reading level is The Wild White Cattle of Great Britain : An Account of Their Origin, History, And Present State book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tradition carries him back to the times of the Pictish kings; while ancient historians describe hiia, though still existing when they wrote, yet as verging towards extinction, and in olden times much more numerous. The Vice-President * of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries admits, led thereto by discoveries made of late years, that the Urus {£os primigenius) may have existed in the North of Scotland for several hundred years after Christ. So that history and tradition would seem to unite in ca...rrying the wild bull back to a time when, in the North of Scotland at least, the Urus may have been still there, and thus tend to confirm the general belief that the one is descended from the other — a behef much strengthened by the osteological ex- aminations of Professor Eiitimeyer and others, and by the remarkable resemblance the wild cattle bear, as we have seen, to the Hungarian and other races of Eastern Europe, the admitted descendants of the ancient Urus.
And it should be borne in mind that these Scottish traditions do not represent the fading and changing memories of some Lowland district, but the recollections of an ancient and remote mountain race, which until 1745 never was completely conquered, and which had handed down for centuries, from father to son, its language, its history, its songs, and its customs.
