What reading level is The Charm of Bombay An Anthology of Writings in Praise of the First City in Ind book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The novelty of the scene was scarcely diminished by a further inspection ; which may appear a contradiction in terms, but is not so in reality. The multitude of ideas caused by the first view of such an astonishing crowd of new and curious objects, obscures and confuses the observation, in a certain sense, and prevents us from distinguishing one part from another. In like manner, I remember being almost stupefied with astonishment, when Sir John Herschcl first showed me one of the great nebulae... or clusters of stars in his telescope at Slough. When, however, the philosopher unfolded the results of his own observations, and ventured to separate and distinguish the different orders of nebulae and double stars, or pointed Ihe instrument to the planet which his illustrious 268 BOMBAY: father discovered, and made nic understand, or tried to make me imderstand, the revolutions of its satellites, I felt the confusion by which at first I was distracted gradually subsiding, while the fresh interest of the spectacle, strictly speak- ing, was greatly increased.
