To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I became pro- ficient, excelling especially in the use of the spear and in artillery practise. At the age of twenty, however, the new methods of foreign gunnery were introduced, much to my dissatisfaction (for I held to the old), and I remonstrated with my superiors. They, how- ever, explained the shortcomings of our own and the merits of the new, and told me also about the real condition of foreign countries. I was greatly inter- ested, and from that time became a zealous student of foreign gu...nnery. I also devoted myself to the study of foreign science, and, among other books. Natural History and Elementary Physiology, written by Mr. Howson, a missionary to China, were of great benefit to me. At the end of these books there was an account given of Jesus Christ, and the wisdom and power of the Creator was described. This I read repeatedly. It was easy to understand about the Creator, but I couldn't understand the least bit about Jesus Christ. At this time the feeling against foreigners was intense, and the principal sub- ject of discussion was the driving of them away, and the closing against them of our harbours ; and hence even those who read such books as I did were perse- cuted.
