What reading level is The Human Cobweb a Romance of Peking book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Of course bright people, like cream, always rise to the top; and yet if they are left undisturbed that is, unseparated from that which must inevitably turn bad they will become sour too. Therefore the office performed by strangers is a very important one.
At the start it had been immensely boring, as it always must be where a select list of exiles meet at too frequent intervals and attempt to forget themselves in perfunctory pleasure. Brillat-Savarin, who knew something about the physiology of
...taste, once wrote: "To invite any one as a guest is to be responsible for his happiness all the time that he is under your roof. " But Brillat-Savarin lived in the gayest country in the world : he had never suffered exile in a very small community. To make your neighbour feel pleased with himself to make yourself responsible for his happiness when you have possibly been employed up to a very few minutes before the dinner-hour in forestalling his most cherished scheme, is more than difficult. Only very exceptionable people like Talleyrand can congratulate a per- son they feel like strangling!
