What reading level is The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The barbarous jargon is mas- tered. Its sounds, which he learned to articulate only by painful torture of the vocal organs, are reduced to alphabetic expression. The Saviour's words are committed in tlieir strange garb to the mission press. A vocabulary follows. A new language is given to the learned world, to be analyzed, 15 classified, traced to its analogues in other tongues, and fused into the still fluent and Protean science of linguistics.
At the same time, our missionary must enter on a ...still more intricate department of research — the human, moral, spiritual geography of the province which he is to annex to Christendom. He must ascertain the past and present of the race, if he would shape its future. Custom, tradition, faith, ritual, government, domestic life, — in all these are instru- mentalities which he must use, or obstacles which he must surmount, or vices which he must cure. He can afford to remain ignorant of nothing that can be known. His are not the cursory observations, the sweeping Inductions, the gra- tuitous inferences, of the mere traveler, nor yet the partial, one-idea investigations of the scientific explorer.
