What reading level is The Story of Modern Progress : With a Preliminary Survey of Earlier Progress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The possession of petty counties on the Rhine or the Danube ceased to interest peoples who had fixed their eyes on vast continents.
Australia was already English. North America was held by the United States or England. South and Central America were protected beneath the shield of the Monroe Doctrine.
Africa, however, was largely unappropriated, and in Asia the stationary and apparently helpless empires of China, Turkey, and Persia invited attack.
The division of the vast African continent was ...swift and peaceful. In 1880 only a few patches here and there on the coast /Were European ; in 1891 the continent was mapped out between European claimants.^ For half a century, France had been extending her sway over Algeria on the north. For nearly double that time England had held Cape Colony on the south; and the events of 1881 (p. 468) put the Nile valley under English control. A generation earlier the explorations of Livingstone, an English missionary, and of Stanley, an American newspaper correspondent, had awakened interest in the heart of the "Dark Continent." In the early seventies Stanley proved that the upper Congo ex- tended far into the interior, and that the immense region in the center of Africa was a rich and accessible country.
