What reading level is Corea Or Cho-Sen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The gate of this was guarded by about a dozen armed men, Ibeing now in front of the part of the house which was inhabited by theKing himself. After all, however, his abode is no better than the housesof the noblemen all over Seoul. It is as simple as possible in all itsdetails; in fact, it is studiously made so. There are no articles ofvalue in the rooms, except a few screens painted by native artists; norare there any signs marking it out in particular as the abode of aSovereign. The houses of... the high court dignitaries are infinitely moregaudy than the royal palace, for they are decorated externally in brightred and green colours.
The morning was spent in prowling about the grounds and in sketching hereand there. In front of the King's house, protected at a short distanceby a low wall, is a second pond, in the middle of which, on a smallisland, the King has erected a summer pavilion of octagonal shape, inwhich during the warmer months he enjoys the reviving coolness of thestill nights confabulating on State affairs with his Ministers andadvisers (not foreign advisers), a pretty semi-circular, white woodenbridge joining, so to speak, the island to the mainland; but, besidesthis and the buildings provided for the accommodation of the Chineseenvoys, when they come, I do not think there is anything in the royalenclosure worthy of special notice.
