What reading level is The History of the Jews in China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For I conceive that the three religions of China have each their respective Temples, and severally honour the founders of their faith; among the literati, there is the Temple of Ta-ching (Great Perfection), dedicated to Confucius; among the Buddhists, there is the Temple of Shing-yung (the Sacred Countenance), dedicated to Niman (Buddha); and among the Taoists, there is the Temple of Yuh-hwang. So also In the True and Pure religion there is the Temple of Israel, erected to the honour of Hwang-t...ien (the Great Heaven). Although our religion agree s in many 67 respects with the religion of the literati, from which it differs in a slight degree, yet the main design of it is nothing more than reverence for Heaven, and veneration for ancestors, fidelity to the prince, and obedience to parents, just that which is included in the five human relations, the five constant virtues, with the three principal connections of life. It is to be observed, how- ever, that people merely know that in the Temple of Truth and Purity ceremonies are performed, when we reverence Heaven, and worship towards no visible object; but they do not know that the great origin of Eternal Reason comes from Heaven, and that what has been handed down from the old to the present day, must not be falsified.
