What reading level is Pantology Or a Systematic Survey of Human Knowledge Proposing a Classificatio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The largest of the Grecian vessels at the great battle of Salamis, had 50 oars, but only 18 fighting men.
The rowers, were deemed of inferior grade to the soldiers ; who fought with javelins and arrows, or manned the heavy weapons.
NAVITACTICS. 509 These consisted of balistsc, for hurling stones heavy enough to pierce the bottom of the opposing ship, and sink it, as they fell ; dolphins, or battering rams, of iron, suspended from the mast, and made to swing, with heavy blows, against the sides ...of the enemy ; or crows, which were long beams with iron hooks at the prows, first used by the Roman consul Duillius, to grapple with the Carthaginian fleet ; by means of which the Romans were at once enabled to board their enemy. Ignited combustibles were sometimes thrown upon the foe, to burn his vessels; and the Greek fire, invented at a late period, served this purpose most effectually, as it could not be extinguished. The ancient mode of drawing up a fleet, was in the form of a trian- gle : the admiral's ship being in front ; the others extending from his, in two diverging lines ; and the store ships forming a connecting line in the rear.
