What reading level is The Last of the Arctic Voyages; Being a Narrative of the Expedition in H. M. S. Assistance, Under the Command of Captian Sir Edward Belcher, C. B., in Search of Sir John Franklin, During the Years 1852-53-54 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I have suffered intensely, more than can be ex- plained, but nothing to disqualify me, in any manner, for this important command, or the liabilities attached thereto. My feelings are my own ; so long as I perform all my duties, who cares for them ?
Our present temperatures are low enough to satisfy most men, but if, in truth, — 90° can be truly found in this region, I would almost stop to see it.
Mercury. — The freezing-point at which pure mercury (not impure amalgams of spurious mercury at low... prices, but volatilized, distilled, adapted for thermometers, etc.) should congeal still continues to haunt me. Unfortu- nately, I left behind me every work on this subject to which I could, as to late date, refer. That — 39 "5° is not the correct point of congelation our standard mercu- rial thermometers prove, nor do they always contract to the same division. The congelation of mercury does not appear to form any part of the acknowledged divisions on these thermometric (?) instruments : the mercury ther- mometers supplied to this Expedition from Greenwich, as well as Kew, were graduated below —40°.
