What reading level is Four Thousand Miles Across Siberia On the Great Post Road book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Much of its commercial importance is due to its situation near the junction of the two main routes by which tea is conveyed from China to European Russia the sea route from the Yangtse to the Amoor, and the land route through Kalgan and Kiakhta. But the chief source of its wealth is in the mineral treasures of its neighbourhood. The gold-mines on the Lena have long been, and are still, very productive ; THROUGH IRKUTSK TO TOMSK 183 and large fortunes have been made there by Irkutsk settlers.
Mu...ch of the wealth thus acquired has been expended on the improvement of the city, several of its citizens having made munificent bequests for this purpose. It has more than one good school, from which youths go direct to the Euro- pean universities ; two large public gardens ; a well-kept museum ; civil and military hospitals ; and several orphanages, one of these being specially provided for the children of Siberian exiles. Such an institution, like a silver lining to a cloud, helps to soften the rigorous aspect of the great Alexandreffski prison in the suburbs of the city, and which, though only a temporary halting-place, sometimes contains as many as two thousand convicts waiting to be drafted to the eastern mines.
