What reading level is A Tour Through Sicily And Malta book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As this chamber of Dionysius is very high in the rock, and now totally inaccessible, we had it not in our power to make proof of this curious experiment, which our guides told us had been done some years ago by the captain of an English ship.
The echo in the ear is prodigious, much superior to any other cavern I have seen. The holes in the rock, to which the prisoners were chained, still remain, and even the lead and iron in several of them. We sur- prised a poor young porcupine who had come he...re to drink, of whom our guides made lawful prize. Near to this there are caverns of a great extent, where they carry on a manufactory of nitre, which is found in vast abundance on the sides of these caves.
The amphitheatre is in the form of a very eccentric ellipse, and is much ruined ; but the theatre is so entire that most of the gradini or seats still remain. Both these are in that part of the city that was called Neapoli, or the New City. " Quarta autem est urbs, " says Cicero, " quae quia postrema asdificata est, Nea- polis nominatur, quam ad summam theatrum est maximum, " &c.
