What reading level is With the Empress Dowager book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I asked to land and examine it, and San-Gunia, the eldest of Lady Yu-Eeng's daughters, a remarkably clever girl and well posted in Chinese literature, translated the char- acters. The inscription was a poem, a tribute to the Great Father who had graciously placed there this island, which " by night was bathed in the glory of the Moon and Sun-kissed by day, while the crystal waters of the lake formed a brilliant necklace on its breast." Beyond the island I saw a temple. There was no landing-plac...e, and the temple was under repair. The head eunuch, however, seeing how much I wished to go up, had the boat draw near and steps brought, up which we clambered, as best we could.
94 Digitized by VjOOQIC Peking — The Sea Palace This was one of the temples so ruthlessly destroyed and unnecessarily desecrated by the Allies during their occupation of Peking. We passed through the vege- table garden of the monks— all shorn of its glory, but where a few vegetables and flowers still grew— and we went on through a beautiful grove of arbor-vitee, with centuries-old trees, planted in the form of a cross, and came into the court of the temple.
