What reading level is The Holy City Or Historical Topographical Notices of Jerusalem With Some Acc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Inhabitants have acted wisely, however, in not trying the fortune of war. At the commencement of the 16th century the Mamluk sultans exercised little more than a nominal jurisdiction over Syria. A western traveller 1, who visited the Holy City A. D. 1507, with letters from the Egyptian court, purchased at a high price at Cairo, derived little benefit from them at Jerusalem. The governor indeed received them with every token of submission and reverence, placing them on his head and kissing them;... but "backshish a " alone could open his heart, and unclose the doors of the Holy Sepulchre to the pilgrims. Ten years after this, the shadow of power vanished before the arms of the Ottoman sultan, Selim I. A. D. 1517, who visited Jerusalem in person both before and after his conquest of Egypt. His successor Soleiman (A. D. 1542) erected a monument at Jerusalem, which remains to this day, in the well-built walls which surround the city ; and his name is perpetuated, but probably not immortalized, by in- scriptions in various parts.
