What reading level is Bengal Under the Muhammadans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the Ain-i-Akbcri they are called dams, and are said to have been sometimes breached by the inundations, when the city would be laid under water. The base of the outer embankment was in one place measured by Mr. Creighton, and found to be 150 feet thick. By far the greater portion of the thirteen square miles thus enclosed appears to have been thickly inhabited. Small tanks, such as are found in Bengali towns, are everywhere to be seen, as well as many foundations of houses, and the remains o...f small places of worship. In the southern part there have been numerous roads, raised very high, and so wide that in many places small buildings of brick were erected on their sides. These were probably chapels or other places of public resort ; while the dwelling-houses were hud'lled together along the sides of the tanks. There have been many bridges, but all small and clumsy.
Somewhat to the south, on the bank of the Bhagirathi, the citadel or Mia was placed. It extends about a mile in length from north to south, and is from 600 to 800 yards bread.
