What reading level is China Past And Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But that does not touch the real rem acu. The fact is, the affairs of the British Foreign Office have grown to such enormous dimensions that it is no longer within the power of the most industrious Secretary of State to cope with all the business, or even to glance in a perfunctory manner at all the despatches received ; not to speak of replies Degree, Priority, and Place 2 1 1 sent, and the concoction thereof. What is really wanted is an entirely new department — the name is of no importance —... having the same powers in Asia that the existing Foreign Secretary possesses now, and would have left to him in connection with Europe and America, after changes made.
Even the best of projected reforms will always be met with objections ; so that in this matter, where no change has yet even been mooted, not to say approved by influential indi- viduals, it follows as of course that objections must be at once anticipated. (Since I wrote this paper, I see that it has been mooted in Blackwoods Magazine^ It will be instantly urged, in the first place, that such a dual arrangement would be unworkable ; that the Foreign Secretary for the West would never know what his colleague for the East was doing ; that ambassadors and ministers would receive conflicting instruc- tions ; and so on.
