What reading level is The Pearl of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Public Buildings. — The Museum. — Domestic Dwellings. — Suburb of Colpetty. — The Lake of Colombo. — A Popular Driveway. — A Sunset Scene. — Excur- sion to the Kelani Temple. — The Jinrikisha. — Current Diseases.
— Native Jugglers. — Hypnotism. — Houdon, the French Magician, astonishes the Natives. — The Thieving Crows.
In that part of Colombo known as the Fort, and situated south of the Pettah, the English have spacious and well-arranged barracks, of sufficient size to ac- commodate five tho...usand men of all arms. Of course, no such force is required in Ceylon, and there are not such a number of troops here at the present writing.
The island is peaceful enough, but the object of the British government is to maintain here, as well as at Malta, a body of disciplined men ready for immediate service, and especially prepared to reinforce the army of India in case of an emergency. The judiciousness of this precaution was well illustrated in 1857, when this station, from its small military force, aiforded such material aid at the outbreak of what the English call the Indian mutiny, before alluded to.
