What reading level is Formosa Under the Dutch : Described From Contemporary Records, With Explanatory Notes And a Bibliography of the Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some ten sacks of paddy, from a few distant fields (which ought to have been removed according to the pro- claimed orders), were burned, as Koxinga's anticipated early arrival did not now permit of their removal, and they would have been a welcome prize to the approaching enemy.
In the country, the doors and windows were unfastened from the houses and taken to Provintia for preservation.
Many small Chinese vessels, in which Chinese had made their escape, were pursued ; and several others, which... were sailing along the coast to receive the fugitives and their properties, were destroyed or captured. Also, the Chinese people who had gathered together on Tankoia and the island of Lamey, were scattered, though without loss of blood ; and, for the same reason, thirteen Chinese evicted farmers who had received permission to settle on Lamey, were recalled from there.
On the 3rd of April, three junks arrived from China. Two of the skippers feigned ignorance of Koxinga's preparations for war, but the third one said, that he had heard some rumours, but knew nothing except that Koxinga was hard pursued by the Tartars and in a very desperate condition.
