What reading level is A Journey in Russia in 1858 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
St. Petersburg has only about thirty churches, the four principal theKazan, St. Isaac, the Smolnoi and St. Peter and St. Paul.
The first of these, Kazan, is a copy, though on a small scale, of St. Peter's at Rome, with its colonnade, and adorned with colossal statues. In the interior are fifty-six marble columns, each 52 feet in height, hewn out of a single block of marble.
The walls and flooring of the same are all beautifully polished.
That part which answers to our chancel, in all Greek chur...ches is lookedupon as the Holy of Holies, shut off from the rest of the building by ascreen, called the Iconostat. This is set apart for the priests: laymenmay enter, but no woman, not even the Empress, can go into thismysterious enclosure.
In this church, all its beams and posts are of massive silver, the threedoors and arches being 20 feet in height above the altar.
We could not learn, says Murray, how many hundredweight of silver wereemployed, but doubtless many thousands of dozens of French and Germanspoons, and hundreds of soup tureens and tea pots must have been melteddown by the Cossacks in 1813 and 1814 as offerings to the Holy Motherof Kazan, this Madonna being held by them in peculiar veneration.
