What reading level is The Universal Geography Earth And Its Inhabitants volume 11 North West Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the dawn of Mam-itanian history this great natural stronghold appears under the name of Cirta, that is, the " fortress, " as the word is commonly interpreted. The title of Constantine, preserved by the Arabs under the form of K'santhina, was conferred on it at the beginning of the fourth century, in honour of the Emperor Constantine. The extensive ruins scattered over the district attest the important position of this ancient capital of Numidia and centre of the Eoman dominion in North Afr...ica. But its very strength necessarily exposed it to frequent attack, and according to the local tradition, it was taken no less than eighty times. By its capture in 1837 the French secured a solid footing in the interior of the eastern Tell, and easily crushed all local risings, henceforth deprived of a common rallying-point. The city proper occupies a gently inclined rocky table, whose northern head- land rises to a height of 2, 100 feet, or 360 feet higher than the opposite point. The whole terrace forms a somewhat regular trapeze, with a circuit of nearly 2 miles, and detached by deep ravines from the rest of the plateau on all sides except towards the south-west.
