What reading level is The Attaché At Peking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dr. Martin, an American missionary, has produced, at the expense of the Board of Foreign Affairs and with the co-operation of a commission specially appointed by the Prince of Kung, a translation into the Chinese lan- guage of Wheaton's International Law. To this Tung-ta-jen, whom I mentioned in my last letter to you as the translator of Longfellow's " Psalm of Life," has added a preface. This preface, coming as it does from the vice-presi- dent of the College of Historians, one of the chiefs o...f the lettered class in China, adds great authority to the work, the publication of which is certainly an event of importance in the history of the country.
LETTER VII Pi Yun Ssu, Tth July 1865.
You will see by the date of this that we have beaten a retreat from the dust, heat, and filth of the city, and that our " villegiatura " has begun. Indeed, Peking was becoming in- supportable. The thermometer when we left was standing at 108° in the shade, the highest degree which it has reached for these three years, and I was heartily glad to turn my back upon the Legation gates.
