What reading level is Hasty Notes Relating to Military Engineering in Europe Mad in the Autumn of 18 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fourth shot (September 20) made a hole 32 feet deep straight into the con- crete, which nearly closed the opening. The mass was badly cracked, and quite a large surface had fallen down around the point of entrance. Considerable fir- ing was witnessed by me at Shoeburyness, but it had no special interest with one exception. This was the practice of an 8-inch rifled howitzer of 70 hundred weight firing shells weighing 180 pounds at a siege battery constructed in the marsh at a distance of 500... yards. The howitzer was fired over the parapet which completely covered it, being pointed by sighting back at a target placed in rear. The gunner placed his eye in front of a rimbase sight, and brought the rear sight into line. Five shots were made, and they all fell with great precision into the battery serving as a target passing over and dropping quite near the crest.
THE DOVER TURRET.
I was permitted to examine this work in detail. The following points were of interest, in addition to what I already knew from the writings of Colonel Inglis, Royal Engineers.
