What reading level is Trans Himalaya Discoveries And Adventures in Tibet volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Ritter's time (1833) no other journeys had been accomplished into the heart of Tibet than those I have just described. His chief sources were therefore Klaproth's translation of Chinese works. Ritter is the first who has in a geographical handbook recognized Chinese learning so far that, relying on it, he has spoken of a continuous chain to the north of the Tsangpo. But he also accepts as trustworthy information certain false statements which may be traced back to mistakes of the lama topogr...aphers. According to Ritter the Dsang range is the eastern con- tinuation of the Gangdisri (Kailas), and the whole system divides Tibet into two halves, the southern being the inhabited Tibet proper, and the northern the land of the Mongolian nomads.
The indistinct notions of the Chinese geographers have accordingly been remodelled and systematized by Ritter. He has made the oriental conception comprehensible and acceptable also to the peoples of the West. But he readily concedes that the knowledge of our Trans-Himalaya, which he calls "the entirely unknown northern range, " must at the time be defective.
