What reading level is The Battle of Dorking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Several of the regi- ment fell out from faintness, and we made frequent halts to rest and let the stragglers come up. At last we reached the top of Leith Hill. It is a striking spot, being the highest point in the south of England. The view from it is splendid, and most lovely did the country look this summer day, although the grass was brown from the long drought. It was a great relief to get from the dusty road on to the common, and at the top of the hill there was a refreshing breeze. We cou...ld see now r, for the first time, the whole of our division. Our own regiment did not muster more than 500, for it contained a large number of Government office men who had been detained, like Danvers, for duty in town, and others were not much larger ; but the militia regiment was very strong, and the whole division, I was told, mustered nearly 5, 000 rank and file. W T e could see other troops also in extension of our division, and could count a couple of field-batteries of Royal Artillery, besides THE BATTLE OF DORKING 43 some heavy guns, belonging to the volunteers apparently, drawn by cart-horses.
