What reading level is China Its History Arts And Literature volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is implied in the very word " settlement " an idea of duly exercised consular authority and of conventional provision for regu- lating all commercial operations. Therefore it is necessary to premise that very different conditions existed at Canton when the English began to trade there at the close of the seventeenth cen- tury. There was no such thing as a consul; no such thing as a convention ; no such thing as a recognised division of jurisdiction ; no such thing as a mutual agreement ab...out the mode of doing business ; no such thing as a fixed tariff, or har- bour regulations, or police. Each side had to be guided by its own instincts. If, as happened sometimes in brawls between natives and foreign sailors, a Chinese subject was killed, the Chinese, in obedience to their traditional doctrine of a life for a life, demanded surrender of a foreigner in order that they might execute him, a demand which the foreigners sometimes conceded and sometimes rejected ; and when disputes had to be settled in connection with these events or other 194 PRE CONVENTIONAL PERIOD untoward incidents, the common device on each side alike was to suspend, or threaten to suspend, tradal relations.
