What reading level is A Memoir of the Construction Cost And Capacity of the Croton Aqueduct Compil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The water of the spring in question would necessarily rise to the surface, because, in the well at Elbeuf, which is nearly nine yards above the level of the sea, the water rises from twenty-seven to twenty-nine yards above the surface of the earth, and consequently from thirty-six to thirty-eight yards above the level of the ocean. Now, as the orifice at Gre- nelle is only thirty-four yards above this same level, it follows that if the same spring were met with, the water must rise above the su...rface of thev earth at Crenelle. " The necessary works were now commenced with boring-rods about nine yards long, attached to each other, and which could be raised or lowered by mechanical means ; and an ingenious method was adapted for giving them a circular motion. The diameter of the bore hole was about six inches. The instrument attached to the end of the lowest boring-rod, was changed according to the different strata which were successively reach- ed, the form adapted for passing through the softer materials of the surface, being unsuit- able to boring through the chalk and flint, a hollow tube being used for the former, while the latter was penetrated by a chisel-shaped instrument.
