What reading level is The Persian Problem: An Examination of the Rival Positions of Russia And ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The opening and improving of roads may help a little, but very little towards benefiting both the merchants and the natives. A great change can be brought about only by the building of railways.
Lord Curzon ten years ago warned his readers THE COMMERCE OF THE GULF 161 against ambitious schemes for regenerating Persia by means of the iron horse, advocating rather the extension of mule tracks and roads as the precursors of railways. But in the past few years the public mind has been instructed on... the building of rail- ways, and it is impossible to agree to-day with the sentiments of 1890 in such a matter. Mule-tracks and roads are antiquated methods of communication in these days, and it is not at all certain that it is not a sheer waste of money and time to insist on the gradual evolution of trade channels by the various stages of track, i-oad, and raiL Boads in civilised countries have long ceased to be main arteries of trafl&c. They can properly be regarded only as feeders. If Japan a few years ago had been persuaded that she must rise gradually to naval power by first building wooden sailingH3hips, and afterwards ironclads, she would certainly not have reached the position which she occupies to-day.
