What reading level is The Geography of the British Empire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this vast region, a few trading stations only, belonging to the French and Portuguese, are not under British rule.
The size and extent may be realized by comparison with lands nearer home. From Peshawur, at the foot of the Himalayas, to Cape Comorin, the southernmost point, the distance is 1900 miles — equal to the distance across the Atlantic from Ireland to Newfoundland. From the British station at Quetta in the west to the Me-kong river on the eastern border of Burmah, is about 2200 miles..., or as far as from Gibraltar to Suez.
The total area of the empire is estimated at 1, 809, 258 square miles, or more than fifteen times the area of the British Isles.
India extends from the eighth to the fortieth degree of north latitude; that is, from near the equator almost to the middle of the temperate zone. Calcutta, the capital, is 88^ degrees east longitude, so that when the sun is setting at six o'clock there, it is just past noon here.
SURFACE.
The general divisions of the surface are well marked, and are four in number.
