What reading level is Access to An Open Polar Sea, in Connection With the Search After Sir John Franklin And His Companions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It is, I think, an open sea. And an argument may be deduced for this belief from the icebergs. The iceberg is an offcast from the polar glacier, and needs land as an essential element in its production — -as much so as a ship the dockyard on which she is built, and from which she is launched. From the excessive submergence of these great detached masses, they may be taken as re- liable indices of the deep-sea currents, while their size is such that they often reach the latitudes of the temper- ...ate zone before their dissolution. Now, it is a remark- aide fact, that these huge ice-hulks are confined to the Greenland, Spitsbergen, and Baffin seas. Throughout the entire circuit of the Polar Ocean, almost seven thou- sand miles of circumscribing coast, we have but forty decrees which is ever seen to abound in them.
A second argument, bearing upon this, is found in the fact, that a large area of open water exists, between the months of June and October, in the upper parts of Baffin's Bay.
