What reading level is Batavia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER YIL The next day the Javanese thronged in great numbers under the walls of the factory, and talked with many friendly demonstrations to the sentinels placed upon the parapet. Many orang-kays, fol- lowed by servants laden with presents and refresh- ments, presented themselves at the door and were given admittance within the fortress ; but the num- ber of these attendants finally became so numerous that the council of war deemed it prudent not to admit at one time more than thirty within ...the fac- tory. This appearance of mistrust seemed to sur- prise and wound the Javanese. They were still more wounded to see that not one of the Dutch left the fortress to fraternize with them upon the plain or at Jacatra.
The Pangerang sent an ambassador, making known his displeasure in terms in which they were made to understand that if this mistrust continued he would put an end to peace and pursue the war with renewed energy. The ambassador added that the orang-kays and the soldiers of the Pangerang, seeing that the Dutch remained on a war-footing, absolutely as if a treaty of peace had not been con- cluded, did not wish to lay down their arms either, and refused to return to their dhesors (villages), BATAVIA.
