What reading level is Worldly Ways Byways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A place connected in my memory with a tragic association was across the river on the last southern slope of the Palisades. Here we stood breathless while my father told the brief story of the duel between Burr and Hamilton, and showed us the rock stained by the younger man's life-blood. In those days there was a simple iron railing around the spot where Hamilton had expired, but of later years I have been unable to find any trace of the place. The tide of immigration has brought so deep a depos...it of "saloons" and suburban "balls" that the very face of the land is changed, old lovers of that shore know it no more. Never were the environs of a city so wantonly and recklessly degraded. Municipalities have vied with million aires in soiling and debasing the exquisite shores of our river, that, thirty years ago, were unri valled the world over. The glamour of the past still lies for me upon this landscape, in spite of its many defacements. The river whispers of boyish boating parties, and the woods recall a thousand childish hopes and fears, resolute departures to join the pirates, or the red men in their strongholds journeys boldly carried out until twilight cooled our cour age and the supper-hour proved a stronger temp tation than war and carnage.
