What reading level is The Italian Lakes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This pass connects the Lake of Como with the Lake of Lugano, and by it we may arrive at the famous Monte Generoso, from the top of which is, at least to our mind, the most beautiful of all the celebrated views in Central Europe, and which is described in the opening chapter of this volume. A carriage road from Argegno goes up the Val d* Intelvi to Lanzo d' Intelvi, whence, from the midst of attractive woods, there is a fine view of the Lake of Lugano.
From Argegno we must now cross the lake, wh...ich at this portion attains its greatest depth. The mountains seem at this point entirely to close the lower end of this basin of the lake ; but as we row inwards they gradually recede, and disclose its last and most southerly part, at "7 The Italian Lakes the extremity of which lies the city of Como, approached by smiling shores thickly covered with villas, and gardens gay with roses and oleanders. Close down on the edge of the lake, with no other habitation near it, and backed by dark woods which cast a mysterious shadow over the great block of building, stands the Villa Pliniana, to which, and to its indirect associations with the country life led by a great Roman gentleman of the empire, we propose to devote the following chapter.
