What reading level is The Universal Geography Earth And Its Inhabitants volume 1 Southern Europe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The torrents are under control now, and have already deposited 17, 6-50 million cubic feet of alluvium over an area of 50, 000 acres, as if they were intelligent workmen. The same system of drainage has been success- fully applied in other parts of Italy, and particularly near Grosseto, on the right bank of the Ombrone. Amongst the great drainage works which will evermore contribute to the glory of Tuscan engineers, the innumerable canals draining the plains of Fucecchio, 246 ITALY. Pontedera, ...Pisa, Lucca, Leghorn, and Viareggio, each of which was formerly occupied by its lake, deserve to be noticed. One of the most difficult of these lakes is that of Bientina, or Sesto, to the east of the Pisan hills, which is supposed to have been formed by an overflow of the Serchio. In former times this lake had two effluents, one running north to the Serchio, the other south to the Arno. The outfall left nothing to be desired in ordinary times, but after heavy rains the two effluents were converted into inflowing rivers, and if the sluices had not been closed, the Arno and the Serchio would have rejoined each other in this inland sea.
