What reading level is Sketches New And Old book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Men calling themselves the superior race, the race of culture and of gentle blood, scanned his quaint Chinese hat, with peaked roof and ball on top, and his long queue danghng down his back; his short silken blouse, curiously frogged and figured (304) John Chinaman in New York 30S (and, like the rest of his raiment, rusty, dilapidated, and awkwardly put on) ; his blue cotton, tight- legged pants, tied close around lihe ankles; and his clumsy blunt-toed shoes with thick cork soles ; and having s...o scanned him from head to foot, cracked some unseemly joke about his outlandish attire or his melancholy face, and passed on. In my heart I pitied the friendless Mongol. I wondered what was passing behind his sad face, and what distant scene his vacant eye was dreaming of. Were his thoughts with his heart, ten thousand miles away, beyond the billowy wastes of the Pacific ? among the rice-fields and the plumy palms of China? under the shadows of remembered mountain-peaks, or in groves of bloomy shrubs and strange forest-trees unknown to climes like ours?
