What reading level is Letters From the Continent Containing Sketches of Foreign Scenery And Manners book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In traversing the Simplon, one hardly knows which most to admire, the skill, spirit, and ingenuity of the engineer who planned the road, or the magni- ficent scenery through which it is conducted. There are between Brig and Domo d'Ossola, a distance of fourteen leagues, or about forty-five miles, twenty- two bridges, chiefly constructed of wood ; six gal- leries cut in the solid rock ; of which one, the Gal- lery of Gondo, is 625 feet long. The width of the road is uniformly 25 feet, and the as...cent nowhere exceeds two feet and a half in six. Houses of re- fuge, regularly numbered, occur every two or three miles, where in stormy weather the traveller may always take shelter. The highest point of the pas- sage is marked by a column, and is 6174 feet above the level of the Mediterranean Sea. Owing to the frequency with which the road almost turns upon itself, great caution is requisite in descending : it is unsafe to descend with less than two drag-chains, if the carriage be at all a heavy one, as nothing is more 110 ISOLA BELLA.
