What reading level is The Story of Mont Blanc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Placed in the college of Geneva, the young Horace made such progress, that soon after he was of age, he was appointed Professor of natural philosophy, in the college ; and he held this honorable post for twenty-five years, interrupted only by his travels in search of physical and especially geological knowledge.
The events of his life are consequently few ; and the substance of them may be best given in his own words : — **Ihad a decided passion for mountains fk>m my in&ncy. At the age of eight...een I had already been De Saussxtre. 67 several times over the mountains nearest to Geneva ; but these were of comparatively little elevation, and by no means satisfied my curiosity. I felt an intense desire to view more closely the High Alps, which, as seen from the summits of these lower mountains, ap- pear so majestic. At length, in 1760, alone and on foot, I visited the glacier of Chamouni, then little fre- quented, and the ascent of which was regarded not only as difficult but dangerous. I went there again the following year; and from that time I have not allowed a single year to elapse without making con- siderable excursions, and even long journeys, for the purpose of studying mountains.
