What reading level is Travels in the Island of Iceland During the Summer of the Year Mdcccx book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The variable nature of the climate, and the constant exposure to wet and cold which is incurred in the occupation of fishing, give a strong tendency to pulmonary complaints ; and out of the annual number of deaths in the island, a very large proportion are referable to this cause.' This fact was ascertained from the examination of certain statistical registers, which are annually drawn up by the priests of the several parishes, and transmitted to the Bishop at Reikiavik. In these pulmonary affe...ctions, and especially in cases of Pthisis, the Lichen Islandicus is much employed by the natives ; and possesses a reputation among them, which the experience of its effects in other countries would scarcely seem to warrant. As a demulcent remedy, however, it probably in some degree alleviates the symptoms, and, as an article of diet in such cases its use may certainly be advantageous.
Inflammatory affections of the abdominal viscera are like* wise very common among the Icelanders ; chiefly perhaps in consequence of the peculiar nature of the diet to which they are accustomed.
