What reading level is Letters From the Pacific Slope Or First Impressions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We stepped into one of their temples, escorted by a Chinaman, and took a view of its interior and the manner of the worshipers. The temple we visited is built of brick, stands retired from the street and in the rear of other buildings, and is reached by a narroAV passage between high brick walls. In the second story there is a spacious hall, dusty and dismal as a prison, which is but faintly lighted by a single taper standing on a sort of pul- pit or desk, near the end of the hall. Behind this ...desk, on a shelf-like projection somewhat elevated, sits Joss — the god — before whom the worshipers reverently bow in a kneeling posture, hiding their faces in their hands as in prayer, and whispering a few words, then rise and retire without observing any special order or time, either in going or coming. The hall is decorated with fantastical pictures of man, beast and plant, and other things unlike any thing in nature. The graven image, Joss, sitting on his elevated seat behind the desk, resembles a 72 LETTERS FROM little old man ; is puiiited black, and striped with red and yellow, and in outline presents a grotesque appearance.
