What reading level is Guide book to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky; Historical, Scientific, And Descriptive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his eftbrts to shake it loose, the cord was burned ofl*; but the lamp re- mained where it had lodged, shining on as if determined to do its dut^^ to the last ! The part of the cord that was drawn up measured 135 feet, leaving us, after all, to con- jecture the remaining depth. Probably the pit perforates the limestone down to the drainage level^a distance ac- cording to the barometer, of 220 feet.
Glad to forsake the thin crust on which we stood, over- hanging such prodigious depths, we clim...cd out of the jaws of Scylla, and made experiments on Charybdis. Here, again, the pebbles were five seconds in reaching the pool below. Along the perilous rim William led the way to still another chasm, which we identified as the farther edge of the Bottomless Pit. Kegaining, not without some diffi- culty, the bridge over it, we proceeded a short distance on the path that leads to River Hall, and then turned back, by a passage under the rocks, to an opening into the side of the Bottomless Pit, about 40 feet below the bridge.
