What reading level is Old Georgetown District of Columbia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those to whom nature afleords the best communication will, if they are wise enjoy the greatest part of the trade. All I would be understood to mean, therefore, is that the gifts of Providence may not be neglected.
The recommendations of the successful general of the Eevolution received more attention than had been bestowed upon those of the Fairfax County surveyor, and his efforts resulted in the incorporation of the Potomac Company by the two states in 1784, with authority to improve the navig...ation of the river, to charge tolls, etc. General Washington became presi- dent of the company, which was the pioneer work of magnitude in the United States in the line of internal improvement enterprises.
The citizens of Georgetown, appreciating the impor- tance of the enterprise to them, subscribed liberally to the stock of the company.
After years of toilsome work and the expenditure of three quarters of a million of dollars in digging canals around the Little Falls, the Great Falls and other places and removing obstructions, the company succeeded in establishing an uncertain sort of navigation for gon- dolas and keel boats, as they were called; the burthen of the boats averaging from ten to twenty tons.
