What reading level is On Modern Carriage-Ways: Being a Paper Read Before the Sheffield Literary ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Between two^and three years since, the short road be- hind the Tontine Inn was paved, as an experiment, with the carboniferous limestone of Derbyshire. The stones are firom 4 to 7 inches broad, 8 inches deep, and 8 to 15 inches long. When this road was Macadamised with similar material, coatings equal to five inches thick were necessary every winter. Since it was paved, more than two years have elapsed, and the hewing marks are scarcely obliterated from ^e foces of the stones. By comparison wit...h other roads, where the traffic is similar, it will last probably 40 years. The best sandstone pavement, besides requiring frequent repairs, would be -worn, out in about 12 years.
A small patch of limestone pavement was also laid down in Russell street, about twelve months since, and an ex- tensive search has recently been made by Mr. Flockton, the Chairman of the Highway Board, and myself, with a view to its becoming the staple material for square paving stones. We have no doubt the enquiry will be successful.
