What reading level is The Great Taiping Rebellion : a Story of General Gordon in China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was easily dis- tinguished from the sombre black and blue of their enemies, thereby preventing them running away, when they would be sure to be taken prisoners and decapitated ; while by the adoption of yellow, which is the imperial colour of the Manchoo dynasty, they brought the sacred symbol of the emperor into common use.
Having arranged these matters to the satisfaction of Cut- sing, preparatory to entering the precincts of Taipingdom, both passengers retired to rest.
A-Lee felt somewhat... restless, which she attributed to the excitement of the day and the prospects of the morrow.
At length she fell into a fitful slumber, from which she was awakened by hearing strange voices close to the side of the cabin where her head lay. At first she imagined that it was only some of the boatmen conversing during their watch on deck. But as she listened, and the voices spoke in whispers, she became convinced that they uttered a foreign language. Above her head there was a small pane of glass, to which she raised herself up, and peeped into the night.
