What reading level is A Seven Months Run Up And Down And Around the World Written in Letters to T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The air is exhilarating, and the climate has been beautiful since I came here. So much in apology for first impressions in Pekin.
I have written of " Cheng, " my dragoman, inter- preter, cook, valet, waiter, man-of-all-work, and a genius besides, who only asks ten dollars (Mexican) per month, and pickings. The ten Mexicans turn out to be the very smallest part of the pay — for I am wholly in his power. I cannot enter a temple without him, or get out of one, or do without him at any time, anywhe...re. Cheng's genius is best displayed hereabout on currency, and I can rec- ommend him to the President for his Secretary of the Treasury, as long as the paper-money system exists in America. Cheng will turn a Mexican dol- lar into nothing, by the exchanges, through the bankers, a little quicker than it can be done in "Wall Street, New York, or, in Montgomery Street, San Francisco. I give him Mexicans, and he exchanges RETURN TO PEKIN. 225 * them for sycee, silver (cliopped-up silver, generally), and he exchanges that into the paper money of Pekin, which is not current ten miles out of the city.
