What reading level is Fourteen Months in Canton book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A Chinese doctor liappened to be on the spot, but he could render no aid, as life was extinct in both children. Family affection is great in China,* and the mother of these children was screaming in her grief, wringing her hands, and imploring the doctor to give her back her children. This hur- ricane, and the same applies to all storms of wind, was supposed by the Chinese to be caused by the dragon, which inhabits the Pearl River, turning himself, and twisting his tail out of the water. One of... our coolies, an intelligent man, gravely told us that yesterday, at the commencement of the storm of wind, he saw the dragon's tail lifted out of the water, and that a little boat was raised on it.
Our old book coolie, however, would not subscribe to this, and when Henry questioned him he said that Chan-ashu (the coolie) might have seen the dragon, but that he believed the big wind came from heaven. So you see, even here amongst the believers in the combined teaching of Confucius and Buddha, there is a difference in points of faith.
