What reading level is The Russian Empire Historical And Descriptive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The port, defended by an outlying line of reefs and islands, and strongly fortified, is a station of the Russian Baltic fleet. On shore, the most prominent feature is the Bom quarter of the town, perched along the ridge of a rocky height, with steep slopes descending to the quays and warehouses, the streets of artisans' and mer- chants' houses, the sandy shores, and the harbour thronged with the masts of shipping that lie in front and in flank. On the Dom no plebeian edifice may rear its head. ...By situation and association its inhabitants stand apart from the vulgar herd. Under this rock sleeps Kolyvan, the half-fabulous Finnish hero, whose name was borne by the spot before it took its Danish title of Refwell — the "Reef. " Upon it rose the first fortifications and religious houses built by the Danes when they took possession of the locality The hand of successive occupiers — the Brethren of the Sword, the Swedes, and the Russians — may be traced on the castle and the group of churches and aristocratic dwellings clustered on the ridge.
