What reading level is Lands of the Moslem : a Narrative of Oriental Travel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sinai, sur- 178 TRADITIONARY SPOTS.
rounded by a stone wall, and near it is a cistern of rain- water and a small pond. Nails and spikes are driven into the tree, at intervals, to facilitate climbing. The tree is about eight feet in circumference at the dis- tance of five feet from the ground. It stands in a small basin, well fitted to receive the winter rains.
Not far from this is the chapel of Elijah, another rude structure of stone, with two apartments ; one is said to hiive been Elijah's sle...eping-place ! At length, after a chmbing of an hour and a quarter, we reached the summit of Jebel Mousa, the highest peak of Sinai.
Two rude stone buildings occupy the summit, bearing the lofty titles of mosque and church, in spite of their insignificance. Of course the monks would testify on oath that the church is built exactly upon the spot where God gave the tables of stone to Moses, and the Mohammedans would do the same regarding the mosque. That God gave Moses the tables of stone here is highly probable ; but the northern peak of Sufsafeh is undoubtedly the spot where " the Lord came down in the sight of all the people" and orally delivered the law ; for, from Sufsafeh, the great plain El Rahah is clearly seen below, while from this summit not a portion of it is visible.
