What reading level is Turbans And Tails: Or, Sketches in the Unromantic East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The smaller characters on the other side corresponded to the printed matter one finds on the back of railway tickets explaining the conditions on which they are issued, and were to the effect that the card had been left by the great man as an act of New Year's condescension, but it was to be distinctly understood that it was not to be used as representing more than this annually blossoming courtesy. Whether this be a custom be- tween Chinamen and Chinamen or whether it is a custom forced upon C...hinamen in relation to foreigners, as a means of showing politeness and at the same time keeping the hated foreigner at a distance, I have not been able to learn.
At Soochow, on the testimony of a friend long resi- dent there, this annual courtesy takes a stranger form, and one more inconvenient to the recipient of it. The magistrate sends round his servant with his card ac- companied by a long list of the presents which he offers you in token of his high regard. The list enumerates choice wines, luscious fruits, and game in the richest profusion.
