What reading level is On Indias Frontier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. , we reached the top of Chundra- giri (meaning the " Moon mountain ") pass, and found the ground whitened by hail stones of the previous night's storm, and covered with hoar frost, though the sun was shining brightly. Our eyes were now treated to a re- cherche banquet covering such a stupendous spread, and composed of such innumerable courses that no pen of a ready writer or brush of a master painter could ever portray and do it justice. Chitlong and its valley lay on one side of us; on the ...other, and at a greater depth, stretching out east and west, was the valley of Nepal proper, twenty-five miles by ten. This valley is more like a plain, where no doubt once rose and fell the waters of a vast lake, before it had worn for itself the only outlet through the encircling chain of highest mountains, by what now marks the course of the Bagmati stream. This outlet once secured, the waters of the lake were drained off, leav- ing the bed to form the present fertile valley.
In its centre, plainly visible to our unaided sight, figured the houses, palaces, pagodas and temples of the capital city of Khatmandu, lo- ON INDIA 'S FRONTIER.
