What reading level is Quaint Corners of Ancient Empires Southern India Burma And Manila book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Down came stately palaces and straw huts, and all were soon erected where we see them to-day, thus forming Mandalay, the " City of Gems. " Love of trade, however, brought all the newcomers among the Celestials to the new capital, and all the substantial houses therein belonged at first to either Chinese or Mo- guls, the natives having no right to erect any save those of straw.
The streets of Mandalay are very wide and not paved in any way, the result being, as already stated, that the dust is s...uffocating as we drive to the fort. " The shops and houses on either side do not present an attractive appearance, and the travel- ler wonders whether these are not merely the suburbs of the city, until a sudden turn in the avenue brings the " fort " into full view. That, 64 Quaint Corners of Ancient Empires he knows, is the very heart of Burma, so this must be the main portion of the outer city of Mandalay, and thus it proves.
One thing strikes the passer-by most favourably. Unlike most Eastern towns there are no bad odours, and " Yoe " * tells us this is owing to the vast num- ber of scavenger dogs and of swine.
