What reading level is The Continental Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 2, February, 1864 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A pathway had been opened up through the rocks, leading, not to universal empire, but to realms of wealth hithertounknown. Providence had literally forced upon men's attention that whichshould fill many dwellings with light, and many hearts with gladness.
Upon withdrawing the drill from the well, the oil and water rose nearlyto the surface. The question was now to be tested whether the petroleumwould present itself in sufficient quantities to justify furtherproceedings, or whether it was, like ...many another dream, to vanish indarkness, or dissolve in tears. The well was tubed, and by a common handpump yielded ten barrels per day. By means of a more powerful pump, worked by a small engine, this quantity was increased to forty barrelsper day. The supply was uninterrupted, the engine working day and night, and the question was considered settled. This oil well immediatelybecame the centre of attraction. It was visited by hundreds andthousands, all eager to see for themselves, and test by actualexperiment, the wondrous stories that had been related concerning itsenormous yield, by counting the seconds that elapsed during the yield ofa single gallon.
