What reading level is Egypt in 1898 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The Greek, or Jew- ish, or Armenian usurer lives in his village ; at seed-time the fellah goes to him, and borrows a little money for seeds, at 20 or 30, or even 50 per cent. Then he borrows a little more for a new spade, and a little more to buy a donkey. The security is the crop. If there is a satisfactory Nile and a good harvest, the fellah is in a position to pay the usurer off, which he does — all but a little : he would not feel comfortable if he were quite free of debt. Perhaps it has be...en a really good year ; then he buys wood to make doors and win- dows for his house, he buys a cheap French bedstead instead of his mud-bank, and smokes THE VILLAGE USURER. L7l more cigarettes than before. These are his luxuries ; and the Customs returns in these articles of import show a steady rise in the fellah's standard of comfort. Even then, per- haps, he still has a fair sum in hand ; but does he lay it by against next seed-time ? Not he ! He marries a new wife, and gives what he calls a "fantasia" — a great feast to all his friends and neighbours, with music and danc- ing, and joyously blues it all.
