What reading level is An Account of the Manners And Customs of the Modern Egyptians : Written in Egypt During the Years 1833-1835 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the low state of the manual arts has, in a great degree, been occasioned by another cause : the Turkish Sultan Seleem, after his conquest of Egypt, took with him thence to his own country, as related by El-Gabartee, so many masters of crafts which were not practised in Turkey, that more than fifty manual arts ceased to be pursued in Egypt.
Painting and sculpture, as applied to tlie representation of living objects, are, I have already stated, absolutely prohibited by the religion of El-Isla...m. There are, liowever, some Muslims in Egypt who attempt the delineation of men, lions, camels, and other animals, flowers, boats, etc., particularly in (what they call) the decoration of a few shop-fronts, the doors of pilgrims' houses, etc., though their performances would be surpassed by children of five or six years of age in our own country. But the Muslim religion especially promotes industry, by requiring that every man be acquainted with some art or occupation by which he may, in case of necessity, be able to support himself and those dependent upon him, and to fulfil all his religious and moral duties.
