What reading level is Extracts From the Journal of Lord R Grosvenor Being An Accouny of His Visit T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the boat's departure we stood out of the bay till twelve o'clock at night, when the wind chopped suddenly round, and it blew very hard from the west; we stood in again under double reefed topsails. About five o'clock we closed with the land at Cape Caxines, and the wind being off shore, stood in as near it as we could. We stood on by several very pretty sandy coves, past the town, till the return of the boat, which brought our consul on board, and during whose stay we remained standing in... near the shore, which gave us leisure to take an accurate survey of the place, and estimate its 74 probable chances of resisting- the French invasion, which now hangs over it. No place can be better fortified to seaward, for independent of the batteries constructed upon the mole, which bear upon whatever approaches it, there are masked batteries and gabions in every part of the bay where a landing could be practicable. The number of guns mounted upon all these batteries amount to 3000, mostly brass, and few under twenty-four pounds, several forty-eight or sixty- eight, and some even larger.
