What reading level is Diplomatic Memoirs volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Russia was steadily pushing its advance in Eastern Asia and taking advantage of every opportunity for encroachments on Chinese territory. The predecessor of the Marquis had been overreached by shrewd Russian diplomacy, and been induced to sign a treaty yielding to the claims of Russia for a large part of the Kuldja Province. The treaty was made in violation of the Minister s instructions, the Chinese Government refused to ratify it, and the Minister on his return home was imprisoned and sentenc...ed to decapitation. His life was saved only through the remonstrance of the Diplomatic Corps at Peking, who explained to the Chinese rulers that in this day an unfaithful diplomatic representative was merely dismissed in disgrace from the service.
Marquis Tseng was dispatched to St. Petersburg, as the most able Chinese diplomatist, to accomplish the difficult task of satisfying the offended Russian Government and to make a new treaty. He had told me in London that he hoped to be able to have my aid and counsel.
