What reading level is Egypt And Mohammed Ali; Or, Travels in the Valley of the Nile book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
457 miriy or land-tax, which, in every part of the Turkish empire, is regarded as due to the Sultan ; but the miri, amounting, in Egypt, to one hundred and eighteen paras* per fedan, being deducted, the re- mainder, called faizj — which five or six times ex- ceeded the miri, — became the property of the Moultezims, or of the Pasha.
DCCIL Immediately on the expulsion of the Mamalooks, his Highness appropriated to himself the revenues of all the Tillages which had belonged to them, or any of thei...r partisans ; yet the number of Moultezims not comprised in this prescription was still considerable j but numerous shares of the village revenues belonged to a totally different class of per- sons. From various passages in classical history, we learn that, among the ancient kings of Persia, it was customary to reward public services, or gratify do- mestic favourites, by a transfer of the revenue of a town or city, as in the case of Themistocles. Pre- cisely the same is the practice of the Porte which, in token of gratitude or favour, had conferred upon various individuals certain portions of the faiz in Egypt ; and these donations of the sovereign had been invariably respected by the most rebellious Beys.
