What reading level is Mahommed the Great Arabian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
627, passed away in comparative tranquillity. Mahommed still seemed far from his aim the mastery of Arabia ; but his expeditions continued, and every foray brought him wealth, disciples, and increase of reputa- tion. In one of these raids his men punished some prisoners guilty of treachery in a manner so barbarous that Mahommed published a revelation making death by the sword, cord, or crucifixion, the only capital punishments a Moslem could law- fully inflict. The mutilation of the hand was al...one retained for larceny, a punish- ment certainly cruel, but not so especially cruel in relation to the crime as Europeans are apt to believe. All Asiatics hold larceny a crime only second to murder. Englishmen of the educated class, rich in all necessaries, and habitually careless, cannot even conceive the irritation the practice of small theft creates in a poverty- stricken community, to whom everything is valuable, and by whom everything is 59 MAHOMMED remembered. They will not endure it ; and to this day the first charge of a native of India against the British Government is its leniency to larceny, and the second most frequent cause of murder is the deter- mination of the people to punish theft with corporal punishment carried to an extreme.
