What reading level is Turkey of the Ottomans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Agriculture is consequently, notwithstanding the great fertility of the soil generally and the favourable climatic conditions which allow of the cultivation of the products of the New as well as the Old World, in a most backward state. The reason for this is hardly to be found in any pecu- liarity of the native character and propensities either of the Turks or the Bulgarians, but in a variety of causes. One of these is, no doubt, the system of land tenure, other con- tributing causes being lack... of scientific knowledge and of capital. Deficiency in means of communication is also another cause, for there are no great waterways as in Russia ; railways are, as yet, few and far between, and leave extensive provinces untouched. Large tracts of land in Asia Minor remain uncultivated, or have by degrees fallen out of culti- vation, the quantity of corn actually grown being, it is computed, but a tenth of what the country might yield if properly worked. To take one example out of a tract of land, 600 square miles in extent, lying north of the town of Karaman, fifty square miles only are now cultivated.
