What reading level is The Seven Wonders of the World And Their Associations With Eight Illustratio book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though these ruins are extensive, the buildings are on a small scale; the greater temple being only thirty-four feet in length. On some of the columns STATUE OF JUPITER OLYMPIUS. 175 are figures in the Egyptian style, and in the same portico others are fluted in the Greek fashion. On the base of one is the remains of a zodiac. This is conjectured to be the ancient Ammonium, the original seat of the oracle. From the statements of Diodorus and Herodotus, these temples are sup- posed to have been ...chief residences of the powerful priest caste of Meroe.
Cambyses having overturned Thebes, after rav- aging the country, divided his army, and one part of it perished by famine ; and the other part was sent to plunder the temple of Jupiter Am- nion, and was overwhelmed by the sands of the desert.
Darwin describes this event in some of the sub- limest language in his glittering poem : When Heaven's dread justice smites in crimes o'ergrown The blood-nursed tyrant on his purple throne, Gnomes ! your bold forms unnuniber'd arms outstretch, And urge the vengeance o'er the guilty wretch.
