What reading level is The Far East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The whole country-side was de- populated, half the people were killed, half may have escaped to Shanghai and other cities of refuge, where they led a precarious existence until peace was restored and they were able to return to their ruined homes. It is generally estimated that, in this and the neighbour- ing provinces subject to ten years of Taipingdom, fully 20. 000, 000 people perished by the sword and famine. The remarkable en- durance and recuperative powers of the Chinese, as well as the ...resources in the soil, are shown in the marvellous way in which the country has since been redeemed from savagery and the cities rebuilt. As a result of the Japanese War of 1894. Suchow and Hangchow were made open ports as well as Nanking, and the consequent outlay of foreign capital and the introduction of steam traffic have aided the impoverished people in their recovery.
