What reading level is The Isthmian Canal a Lecture Before the Contemporary Club Bridgeport Conn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is on a beautiful harbor; and seen from the 8 sea there is a gap in the mountains which looks as if it was an ideal passage ; but that gap is six hundred feet high ; and although a tunnel route could be found there, nothing else is practicable. The next line is what is known as the San Bias route. That is undoubtedly the shortest passage between the two oceans ; but the summit here is over a thousand feet high. The harbors are good at both ends, and if it were not for the moun- tain it would... be the best route ; but it involves a tunnel four and a half miles long ; and such a tunnel built to pass a modern ship is a work which even a modern engineer would hesitate to under- take. The third of the routes which terminate on Panama Bay, is the well-known Panama route. This is the only possible route of the three with a low summit; the summit on the line of the Panama Railroad being only two hundred and eighty-five feet above the sea. It is the lowest summit that exists any where except at Nicaragua.
