What reading level is The Old Navy And the New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About the middle of April, on my application, I was detached from the command of the Miantonomah. A month later she left, accompanied by the Augusta, and visited most of the ports of Europe. She was received by the Russians at Cronstadt with special favor. From the newspaper accounts published in England at the time, the vessel was an astonishment to the British, and her superiority in power to any vessel afloat was acknowledged. At present, she would be a mere pygmy in size, armor plating, or ...armament, in comparison with almost every vessel that Great Britain would rely upon in the event of war.
During this winter in Washington, when in command of the Miantonomah, I saw much of General Grant, and brought to his notice the great importance of ascertaining whether a ship- canal was practicable across the American isthmus. It was a question that had to be settled, as Humboldt had suggested, by extended surveys before the United States could have a deter minate policy, recognized by Jefferson in 1788, a third of a century later by Clay, and later still, in 1833, by Jackson, who sent a special agent to Central America to look into the matter.
