What reading level is A History of the Philippines book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As late as 1583, Bishop Salazar, in writing to the king of affairs in the Philippines, says the Moros had preached the law of Mohammed to great numbers in these islands and by this preaching many of the Gentiles had become Mohammedans; and further he adds, "Those who have received this foul law guard it with much persistence and there is great difficulty in making them abandon it; and with cause too, for the reasons they give, to our shame and confusion, are that they were better treated by the... preachers of Mohammed than they have been by the preachers of Christ." ^ Material Progress of the Filipinos. — The material sur- roimdings of the Filipino before the arrival of the Span- iards were in nearly every way quite as they are to-day. The "center of population" of each town to-day, with its great church, tribunal, stores and houses of stone and wood, is certainly in marked contrast; but the appear- ance of a barrio a little distance from the center is to-day probably much as it was then.
