What reading level is The Open Court 16, No.544, C.2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
However, when the treaty was submitted to the Emperor for sanction, the "Son of Heaven" rejected it with indignation. Ki-shan was igno- miniously recalled, and underwent the greatest indignity that had ever been inflicted on any high functionary under the reign of Tao- kwang. He was publicly degraded, his property was confiscated, feMPEkOR TAO-KWANG AND THE OPIUM WAR. ' 561 his concubines were sold, his house was razed to the ground, and, to complete his misfortune, he was exiled to the remotes...t part of Tartary.
These sudden reverses of fortune are spectacles which the Celestial Emperor often presents to the Chinese people. The lower orders always applaud such catastrophes, which appeal to their gross instincts : and they think that a strong blow is necessarily a just one. Those of our readers who wish to form a better acquaint- ance with the great mandarin Ki-shan, have only to read the de- lightful Travels in Tartary, Thibet, and China of MM. Hue and Gabet ; they will find him at Lassa, on intimate terms with the in- trepid travellers.^ A mandarin named Y-shan succeeded Ki-shan in the government of Canton, and brought back with him the treaty which his prede- cessor had concluded, torn.
