What reading level is The Castle of San Juan De Ulloa And the Topsy-Turvyists book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another reason which accounts for the smaller number of guns attributed by some to the castle and Vera Cruz is the likelihood of the truth of the assertion that, after it was certain that those places would not be attacked by direct bombard- ment from a fleet, and that, hence, it was evident that the brunt of the battle would be shifted to the route between Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico, many of the guns on the said coast defenses were dismounted preparatory to removal (some be- ing removed)... and transportation to the forts and batteries defending the road to the capital. Hence, while San Juan alone had two hundred and sixty-one cannon and twelve mortars mounted in 1845 and 1846, — when the Mexicans thought a fleet attack possible, — that number may have been reduced by the spring of 1847, when all danger from that particular form of assault was known to be over by reason of the plainly assured intention of the United States to outflank the fortress, gain its rear, and rush upon the capital.
