What reading level is Travels in Various Countries of Scandinavia Including Denmark Sweden Norway book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The origin of similar institutions in our own country. Gustavus Adolphus, in the year 1626, first founded here a Gymnasium, or School, for the use of the town only. Fourteen years after- wards, Queen Christina, or, as the Swedes call her, Stina ^, converted the Gymnasium into a Uni- versity, endowing it with the same privileges (2) " In No. 135. The Spectator, upon the subject of the English language, observes, that proper names, familiarized in English, dwindle to monosyllables, but that in ot...her languages they receive a softer tone by the addition of syllables. Thus Nicholas, in English Nic, becomes Nicolini in Italian ; John, alias Jack, becomes Janot in French ; &c. The Swedes in this case are our allies, for we both follow this dwindling system ; but with this difference, that, as we cut at one end of our words, they dock at the other. Who would ever imagine, among the softening French or Italian linguists, that Nicholas was expressed by Nils, as in Nils Marelius ? Christina, by Stinn ?
