What reading level is The Land And the People of China a Short Account of the Geography History Rel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The atmosphere also is oppressed with odours, in their variety and sublimated offen- siveness peculiarly Chinese ; the unsavoury outcome of extremely defective drainage, which blends its exhalations with the fumes of charcoal, garlic, and oil ; whiffs of opium and tobacco being mingled there- with by way of an occasional change. Many of the lower orders in the inner thoroughfares look sadly in want of a washing, and seem as if they had never changed their clothes for a whole season. But, on the... other hand, in order to do justice to our subject, we must bear in mind that these narrow lanes, though sometimes closed in with matting on the top, were not purposely constructed to exclude wholesome ventilation. They were built narrow to shut out the hot sun, and thus obtain a sort of underground coolness ; and if we may judge from Chinese Cities and Villages. 101 the appearance of the shopkeepers, who spend their entire lives behind their counters, the effect is not so baneful as one would suppose.
