What reading level is Economic And Industrial Progress of the Century By Henry De Beltgens Gibbins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was at the same time a movement going on in favour of temperance, but, fearing lest this movement should cause a decrease in the returns from the brandy tax, the Russian gov- ernment of the Czar Nicholas actually forbade the formation of " temperance unions/ 7 as they were called. The peasants themselves in many cases real- ised the evil results of over-indulgence in drink, and some among them made a pledge not to use brandy except in cases of illness or on special occasions such as festi...ve and family gatherings. Those who farmed the brandy tax attempted, on the other hand, to increase the amount of drink con- sumed by lowering the prices, and even in some cases by making presents of brandy; but their efforts to promote drunkenness did not meet with the success which they expected. Finding that they could not raise sufficient money to pay the government the amount which they had agreed to give for the privi- lege of farming the tax, they then applied to the State for assistance.
