What reading level is America in the Orient volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The offensive and defensive treaty entered into recently be- tween England and Japan, osten- sibly for the preservation of what is diplomatically termed the ''Open Door" in China, is a document which has more than a passing in- terest for America and Americans. It was announced with a flourish that this treaty meant the conser- vation of the peace in the Orient, that it insured free trade and equal rights to the commerce of all na- tions, and that it made certain the political integrity of the ...Chinese Empire. There was an assumption of political and commercial altruism in this sonorous announcement that pleased international philanthro- pists and members of the Peace So- ciety all round the world; but the hard-headed men of affairs, who have in their keeping the diplomatic relations of the Powers and who have learned to differentiate a hawk from a hernshaw, merely smiled, for they had a long and intimate ac- quaintance with the two altruists who had issued the proclamation. England, the persistent plunderer and bullier of the Flowery Land, and Japan, recently arrested while imitating her friend and ally — these W'ere the two altruists who were to be the guides, philosophers and friends of the guileless Chinaman, his guardians and protectors, the high-minded friends of peace, who were anxious only to keep open the Chinese ports and keep free and equal the trade of China for all comers.
