What reading level is Five Years in Siam, From 1891 to 1896 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The small boy at school who argaes with a big one is likely to score a kick behind for his 'cheek'; nations are only bigger children, doing it on a larger scale. The tone of the Siamese was largely dae to the consciousness of their own right intentions, and they did not understand that they had not in practice given proof of them to the French Government. Thus those who gave the wise, but necessarily unpalatable, advice that it was best to back down promptly made little impression.
The attempt ...to force a settlement on them by the presence of additional ships in the Me Nam aroused a parotic spirit of opposition among the Siamese which was not unwarranted. M. Pavie in his announcement to Prince Devawongse was straining the treaty beyond its limits in terms which were of the most threatening character.
' L'amiral,' he said, ' insiste beauooup pour que, oonfarm6- ment au Trait6, ce batiment [' Inconstant '] remonte k la capitate, le Gouvemement lui ayant fait connattre qu'il consid^rait ce fait com me un droit indisputable.' The clause of the treaty runs, 'Les batiments de gu^re fran9ais pourront p6n6trer dans le Seuve et jeter Tancre k Paknam ; niais ils devront avertir Tautorit^ siamoise pour remonter jusqu'^ Bangkok, et s'entendre avec elle relativement a Tendroit oti ils pourront mouiller.' The Siamese reply showed that the pretext on which the ship was being sent was groundless, and asked in dignified language that France should not therefore insist on sending her.
