What reading level is A New And Popular Pictorial Description of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, And the British Islands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the military establishment for 1659, the garrison consisted of the governor, a gunner, a servant, two corporals, one drummer, and thirty soldiers.
The only period at which this castle proved of any utility was in the reign of Charles II., in June, 1677, when the Dutch, under the famous Admiral De Ruyter, suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Thames, during a protacted negotiation, and detached his vice-admiral, Van Ghent, with seventeen of his lighter ships and eight fireships, to sail up th...e Medway. Van Ghent took the fort of Sheerness with little difficulty, and, after destroying the stores, made dispositions to proceed up the river In the meantime Monk, duke of Albemarle, made every effort that the suddenness of the surprise would admit to render the attempt abortive. He sunk. several ships in the channel of the river, and drew a chain across, behind which he placed the Unity, the Matthias, and the Charles the Fifth — three large men-of-war that had just been taken from the Dutch, who were then advancing very fast, and, having the ad- vantage of wind and tide, passed through the sunken ships and broke the chain.
