What reading level is Spanish Cuban And Philippine Wars book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wives have an amount of liberty hardly e(|ualcd in any other Eastern country, and they seldom abuse it. The men are self-respecting and self-re- strained to a remarkable degree. The climate allows them to be indolent, yet they possess many fine branches of industry (making beautiful mats and ele- gant linen fabrics), and they imitate such branches of European industry as ship building, leather dressing and carriage building, with great success. With their patriarchal system of living, they have... not learned the art of forming a state and are commonly su])posed to be destitute of the capacity of governing them- selves; yet the stress of circumstances has developed leaders among them and during the past year an at- tempt has been made to organize a government. For 5 three centuries they have been subject to Spanish rule, and it is absurd to deny the existence of capacities that have not been allowed to grow. What their ca- pabilities are is shown in the nature and personnel and working of the extempore government they now have and which makes so much a part of the grav- ity of the present situation that I must give a few details.
