What reading level is Observations in Asia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What- ever we can learn, then, about the Asiatic laborer is worth while. To-day he is a manual laborer. There are, of course, other tools and utensils than those used upon the soil, but they are crude and slow. In com- parison our tools and methods are magical.
A log sawed up at Rumford Falls, Maine, on Monday is a newspaper read in New York Friday. But in Asia you repeatedly see a huge beam thrust like a telescope into the air, supported at the higher end, by a great sawhorse. Upon the high en...d and under- neath are natives who work a double-hand- ed saw and complete their task after weeks of great physical labor. A Jacquard loom, in Fall River, automatically lifts the thread for the shuttle to weave its intricate design.
In Canton I visited a silk mill, which con- sisted of one loom in a little room. On the top of the loom was, a half naked Chinese cherub who pulled the threads out after the manner of the Jacquard, while his mother, squatting on the bare ground, threw the shuttle back and forth.
