What reading level is Constantinople book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A mosque, a mere tiny chamber, projects a little way into the central passage, and in the midst of the daily traffic the muezzin calls to prayer. .
Here only rare and costly objects are exposed for sale.
Hence this is almost the only place in the Empire where smoking is forbidden. Nowhere else can be found a like array of old armor, Damascus blades, silver ornaments, filigree work, delicate carvings and chisellings, musical instruments of remote date, quaint watches, inlaid and mosaic furniture..., ornaments of mother-of-pearl, charms, gems, seals, coins, mouthpieces, — whatever is peculiar and old. But the rare is becoming rarer. Even the sel- lers are dropping away, and many of the stalls are vacant.
The lordly Bezestan is fast degenerating into a sort of Bit Bazar itself.
Nowhere is the paralysis of Eastern manufactures more plainly recognized than in the Bazar. Almost all Turkish productions are disappearing, or have already disappeared.
Native fabrics have been brought into unequal competition with those of Western Europe.
