What reading level is America, Through the Spectacles of An Oriental Diplomat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We believe that in the end right will conquer might. Innumerable as have been the disputes between Chinese and foreign- ers it can at least be said, without going into details, that we have not, in the first instance, been the aggressors. Let me supply a local illustration showing how our faults are always exaggerated. Western people are fond of horse-racing. In Shanghai they have secured from the Chinese a large piece of ground where they hold race meetings twice a year, but no Chinese are all...owed on the grand-stand during the race days. They are provided with a separate entrance, and a separate enclosure, as though they were the victims of some infectious disease. I have been told that a few years ago a Chinese gentleman took some Chinese ladies into the grand-stand and that they misbehaved; hence this dis- criminatory treatment of Chinese. It is proper that steps should be taken to pre- serve order and decency in public places, but is it fair to interdict the people of a nation on account of the misconduct of two or three?
