What reading level is Travels in Lower Canada With the Authors Recollections of the Soil And Aspect book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have myself heard this native orator speak for hours together, at one of the last public treaties that was held with this tribe. His discourse was then taken in short-hand. It was upon local policy, and therefore is now forgotten, though it went through the newspa- pers of the day ; but some of his speeches, in reply to the solicitations of dif- ferent missionaries to the Sennekaa tribe, to change the reUgion of their fathers for the Christian creed, have been often reprinted in our periodica...l publications, and can only be read with astonishment. They elevate the untutored Indian far above Pope's elegant apology for that supposed igno- rance and imbecility with which self-complacent Europeans have been pleased to designate the wild man of America.
When Father Charlevoix, a learned Jesuit, first assisted, as the French say, at an Indian Council (for the gift of eloquence was not confined to the orators of the Five Nations) he could not believe that the Jesuit, who acted as inter- preter, was not imposing upon the audience the effusions of his own brilliant imagination.
