What reading level is Report of Proceedings On a Voyage to the Northern Ports of China in the Ship Lord Amherst book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By 10 a.m. on the 17th, the land of Corea was seen a little to the north of Sir James Halls Group ; we stood towards a high bluff point of a large island, distinguished by a large detached mass of rock close to the point ; on rounding this we opened an extensive bay exposed to the north. The sum- mits of this, as well as the other islands to the south* ward, were clothed with luxuriant vegetation and high trees ; the lower part, near the sea, was cleared and cultivated, and we saw numerous catt...le and several villages.
At five Mr. Gutzlaff and myself left the ship in the gig, anxious to make our first acquaintance with the Coreans, of whose manners former navigators have given so very unfavourable an impression. In our way on shore we boarded a small fishing-boat : the people in it at first seemed much alarmed, but were soon reassured on my asking them in writing what the name of the place was ; one wrote down Chang-shan Pung-shang, but he could not give us any more information, understanding very few Chinese characters.
