What reading level is To Siam And Malaya in the Duke of Sutherland's Yacht 'sans Peur' book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will take wild faith in a future and much talkee-talkee to create the Siamese railways. In railway-planning, in the East especially, there are two main considei'ations — the through traffic and the local traffic; two widely different interests. Then there are the markets (Colquhoun carefully marks the distinction), imme- diate, those now ready for opening and markets of the future, those requiring education in civilized wants.
In Siam there would be none of the burial- ground difficulty that... there is in China with the railway, where the line threatens the vested inter- ests of the tomb. Cremation being general here, the ashes of the dead are preserved in urns ; while the poorer Siamese are devoured after death by birds of prey, or their ashes washed to the ends of the earth by the rivers.
' Time was,' says Sir John Bowring, ' when 142 HIGH LIFE IN ASIA.
Bangkok occupied the third place among the com- mercial cities to the east of the Cape of Good Hope — first Calcutta, second Canton.' Siam has folded its hands to sleep, and been forgotten.
