What reading level is Chapters in the History of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TO the brief sketch, given in the last two chapters, of the work of the Chamber since 1820 in the direction of removing obstacles to Commercial and Industrial progress, it may be well to add some observations bearing upon cognate problems which still lie before us.
In the course of current discussions old controversies are constantly reappearing in new forms, and sometimes important historical questions crop up. It is said, for example, that the men who fought for the abolition of the Corn Laws... were actuated mainly by a desire to secure cheap food for the working factory population, in order that wages might be reduced. This charge was often levelled at them during the progress of the agitation, and it has been frequently repeated even to this day. Quite recently the writer of a book on Commercial Education restated it, thus assisting to fix in the minds of young people, as if it were simple historical truth, a statement which is utterly destitute of foundation.
It is fitting, and may be of service in the interests of historical accuracy, to call attention to the fact that the charge was not only repeatedly refuted at the time, but also that the leaders of the Anti-Corn Law Movement contended that the removal of the import duties on food products would have the effect of actually raising wages.
