What reading level is The North American Review volume 145 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is now sixty-six years of age, erect, tall, manly, and dignified. He expressed himself in favor of railroads, asking many questions as to their probable cost and other matters, and proved to be of the greatest service to our traveler by his suggestions as to routes, and in other ways.
There is at present but one railroad in the whole of China, and that one is only seven miles in length. The Chinese Government are opposed to railroads as an innovation, and this one exists by sufferance only, ...connecting the Kaiping coal mines in North China with a canal. As the Government needs the coal for the naval fleet which it has lately organized, it winks at the existence of this railroad, and will probably authorize its extension to a point on the canal more favorable for shipment. China is rich in unexplored mineral resources, and the Government is slowly awakening to their value. The extension of the railroad system would therefore appear to be but a question of time.
The author passes in review the history of foreign interference in Chinese affairs from the earliest period down to the present day, and especially with reference to the opium traffic.
