What reading level is China's Millions 1880 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The living also make holes for dwellings. From the conformation of the country, the earth is cut up by the rain, thus leaving per- pendicular faces, in which holes are cut capable of hold- ing a family. When timber is scarce, this plan is very economical. We passed several LARGE TREES WHICH ARE WORSHIPPED ; pieces of calico or tablets are nailed on the trunk, and an incense-pot placed at the root. Near Shu-k'eo Hien we noticed houses with flat roofs, answering very well for stacking grain, and ...in some places the roof was being used as a threshing-floor.
At P'ing-yang Fu I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Hill. I went with him to a village about five li from the city.
It presented a most deplorable aspect ; the houses were mostly broken down, the walls were standing, but all the timber had been taken out to be sold. Once there were 700 people, now about 100.
In one house was a respectable old lady, who could scarcely refrain from tears as she answered a few ques- tions. She was holding a piece of bread-stuff such as we might feed cattle with.
