What reading level is Travels in the Three Great Empires of Austria Russia And Turkey volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The surface of the country is less hilly than that of the other islands of the Archipelago, to which it bears no geological resemblance ; and the soil is so rich that it teems with wild flowers, and exacts but little toil from the laborer. The principal pro- ductions are wine, (of which that called Com- manderia is the richest and most palatable, ) madder, wool, turpentine, grain, and fruits, o 2 212 VEGETABLE PRODUCTIONS.
particularly the caroob* or fruit of the locust- tree, cotton and silk ;... the two last may be re- garded as the chief staples of the island. Mul- berry-trees are planted on a large scale to supply food to the silkworm, and are kept closely trimmed to make them throw out a greater quantity of leaves. Besides these ar- ticles, the natives cultivate the coloquintida, or colocynth, a species of gourd that creeps on the ground, like the cucumber which it resem- bles : while unripe, the fruit is of a green color, striped with red ; when mature, it becomes yellow ; and the skin and seeds being removed, the pulp is retained for use.
