What reading level is This Goodly Frame the Earth Stray Impressions of Scenes Incidents And Persons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Europe and China hobnobbing! such is the scene Shanghai presents ; only that the hobnobbing is done arms-length, centuries-length, 102 CHINA raee-lengtli apart. Here, on the one hand, a beau- tiful European city ; open to breeze and sunshine ; with stately buildings and lovely gardens ; its broad, park-like quay, shaded with rows of trees, running along the river, and everything breathing sweet and healthful air ! There, on the other hand, a Chinese walled town of 200, 000 inhabitants, its stre...ets narrow and filthy, its people pigging in to- gether in tenements which are perpetual breeding- places of disease ! Cheek by jowl, for fifty years have stood these two cities ; the one steadily aspir- ing after growing beauty, comfort, healtlifulness, the other serenely satisfied with its aboriginal per- fection. Shakespeare and the Chinese are at one in the feeling that — " To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, . . . Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. " As over against two such authorities, far be it from me to express a personal judgment.
