What reading level is Seas And Lands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her waiting policy has made her mistress of the situation once more. In the days of Sir Harry Parkes, and JAPAN AND FOREIGN POWERS. 387 again in the days of Sir Francis Plunkett, she might have earned Japan's perpetual gratitude by practi- cally acknowledging that a country which had sacri- ficed so much in the cause of progress deserved some measure of trust and recognition. But she suffered both opportunities to pass unutilised, so that in 1887 no Power was less respected in proportion to its... strength, or less considered in proportion to its interests. Now, however, fortune has placed the ball for the third time at her feet. The Japanese Government returns to her, fully persuaded that, benevolent as may be the intentions of other States, it rests with her alone to solve the problem. Lord Salisbury has to decide whether Japan shall be con- demned to another period of semi-isolation and corre- sponding humiliation, whether her growing ill-feeling against foreign arbitrariness shall be suffered to devolop, to the detriment of her civilisation, and to the inconvenience — to use no stronger term— of his countrymen residing within her borders, or whether all sense of injury shall be removed by treating her as an equal, and allowing her to throw open her whole territories to the commerce of the world.
