What reading level is The Country of the Moors a Journey From Tripoli in Barbary to the City of Kairw book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
231 running in front of them. At length we came to the Bab el Tunes, or Tunis Gate. The curiosity was general : a throng of idlers accompanied us, kept at bay by the faithful bodyguard.
The Gate is a tower, having a Moorish horseshoe archway of alternate black and white marble, with a red keystone : its sides are faced with beautiful old marble pillars. A running scroll of ornament and inscription frames the arch, and the angles above it contain lovely arabesque designs. Above the first arch is... a second, moulded in the wall, and overhead is the crenellated parapet of the wall. The whole gate forms, as almost every one of the city gates forms, a fine example of the best Mauresque design. In front of the gate were the customary loungers of every Oriental city, and by the wayside sat three blind beggars. This was the moment, I said to Perruquier, for doing the handsome thing : and Perruquier with munificence placed some copper in the hand of each beggar.
Beyond the outer doorway of the tower, which has a plain horseshoe arch in red and white stone, runs a tolerably broad passage, taking a turn to the left, and lined with shops of gunsmiths or armourers, and old iron and implement stores.
