What reading level is Missions And Politics in China; the Situation in China, a Record of Cause And Effect book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

After she had left this world, the people of the locality found that an appeal to her was invariably answered, and a temple was built in her honor. During the recent dry season, prayers for rain were always granted, thus showing that though hundreds of years have gone by, the maiden still watches over the locality. The memorialist is of opinion that she may well be included in the calendar, and proposes that for the future, sacrifices may be offered to her every spring and autumn. Re- script : ...Let the Board of Ceremonies report upon the matter." 1 Other edicts provide for the offer of incense to certain gods, the selection of lucky days for various observances, the deification of a certain maiden, etc.
Yet these curious features must not be so ex- aggerated as to make China appear ludicrous.
The West has erred in this. China's great pre- tensions, her theatricalism, her hypocrisy were understood by all, and her absurdities have been allowed to fill such a place that China has been rather the laughing stock of the nations.
