What reading level is Round the Globe Through Greater Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We naturally ask, why these forts now are of such small account compared with what they once were ? Without pretending to go into all the military ques- tions involved in the answers, I may call attention to the pregnant words of the Great Duke, who, in 1801, in his celebrated memorandum on Seringapatam, points out both the value and the valuelessness of these fortresses. " In fact, " he says, " no fortress is an impediment to the operations of a hostile army in this country, excepting it lies ...immediately in the line on which the army must necessarily march ; or excepting it is provided with a garrison of such strength and activity as to afford detachments to operate upon the line of communication of the hostile army with its own country. " For various, and perhaps sufficient, reasons, orders have gone out to dismantle many of these fortresses. It is difficult to help regretting it, however necessary and expedient it may be. Is it impossible that the time may come when India will be emptied of troops by the urgent needs of some great European struggle, with which we shall sympathize too much not gladly to make every sacrifice ?
