What reading level is The Mutiny of the Bengal Army : An Historical Narrative book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As our men halted on the other side to rest after the engagement, which had lasted fully two hours, information was received that the insurgents had retired to a very strong entrenchment on the other side of the Pandoo Nuddy, and that they were then preparing to blow up the bridge. Forward again was the cry : the troops got up with alacrity, and recommenced their march. They had scarcely gone three miles, when the little nullah, swollen by the rains to the dimensions of a large river, the stone... bridge intact, and the enemy's entrenchment on the other side, burst upon the view. Thebridge was guarded by two long 24-pounders, and we had just become visible, when a puff of smoke was seen, and tlie shot came pounding amongst our advance. Our guns of smaller calibre never attempted to reply, but moved on steadily in face of a continuous fire till well within range, when unlimbering, they opened fire. The effect was instantaneous. The fire of the enemy ceased as if by magic. It subsequently transpired that the first discharge from our guns had smashed their sponge-staffs,, and, having none in reserve, they could no longer load their pieces.
