What reading level is Our Commercial And Political Relations With China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His policy is but a repetition of that which has prevailed in China for ages, a simple despotism, rendered, however, more severe than was known before in the country by his pretensions to especial authority from Heaven, and the consequent rigor with which his decrees are enforced, at the pain of instant death. The Government of China, hitherto, as well under the Tartars as under their native sovereigns, has been remarkable in its des- potism, for its attention to the wishes and interests of the... people, and un- doubtedly this singular feature, for an Asiatic Government, is the living spring which has preserved its unity and stability for so many ages. Un- like the domination of the Caliphs, and the thousand and one conquerors of India and the west of Asia, the principles of Government in China were founded on the disinterested inspirations of philosophy, inculcating that the happiness and virtue of the people were the primary object, and their care the main duty of the Sovereign. These principles are still recognised, and though the corruption of the subordinates obscures their light, and tyranny often oppresses the inhabitant of the cities, in the country the peo- ple enjoy a liberty only known elsewhere to the subjects or citizens of the free Governments of the globe.
