What reading level is Eleven Years in Ceylon Comprising Sketches of the Field Sports And Natural Hist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gampola is mentioned in Cingalese history as early as B. C. 502, when Suddhodana, a brother or cousin of the Queen who then reigned, and who had accompanied her from Kimbulwatte- nuwara, * settled at this place. About two hun- dred years later, Uttiya, the brother of Kellania- Tissa, fled to Gampola, when his intercourse with the Queen was detected at Kellania. In a. D. 1347, it became the capital of the island under Bhuwaneka-Bahoo the Fourth, and continued so for fifty years ; it was then dig...nified with the state name of Gangasripoora (the royal city on the river). A few carved stones are the only remains of a royal residence whose very founda- tions are now obliterated. Crossing the Maha- welli-ganga by a ferry at Gampola, and recross- ing it at Peradennia, seemed an unnecessary and inexplicable arrangement : altogether the distance from Nuwara-ellia to Kandy is fifty-two miles by this path.
* Kapila-wasta-poora in Maghada.
V3S CHAPTER VII.
HORTON PLAINS.
Ay, this is solitude ! no life is here !
