What reading level is Essays Critical And Political volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were known to be in the habit of passing off some of the slaves on board as passengers and many as servants, while they were in reality being conveyed to northern ports for sale. The officers whose duty it was to inspect these ships had no means of judging of the truthfulness of these asser- tions. They knew nothing of the language, and when in more recent times prudence suggested the employ- ment of an interpreter, there was no means of securing his honesty and fidelity, and in many insta...nces he took bribes from the Arabs, and in some cases was personally interested in the trade, to assist in the suppression of which he was employed. On the whole then, the means which were adopted on the sea were ill calculated to put an end to the slave trade. It is not to be wondered at that the results were eminently unsatisfactory.
Upon land the expedients were not much better. About thirty years ago there was a treaty with Muscat which has not had the effect of putting an end to the trade, and one of the reasons why that treaty proved futile was that it allowed domestic slavery on board trading ships, which at once suggested itself as a ready means of evading condemnation.
