To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In 1850 the estimated income per head of the population of India was 2cl a day: in 1832 it was ijd a day, while in igoo it was -|d a day ! How ironical seem the words] of Queen Victoria's Proclamation, " In their prosperity shall be our strength. " From the report recently published by a civilian in Bengal, on the Economic Life of the agricultural district of Faridpur, it appears that more than half the inhabitants of that district are unable to obtain the minimum necessities for the maintainan...ce of merely physical efficiency.
Famines are an indication of the economic condition of a country, for the mere failure of the rains and consequent failure of crops could not bring famine to a prosperous peasantry when there is a widespread network of railways ready to bring grain from other provinces or from abroad. The British Crown took over the government of India in 1858. We find from an exam- ination of the statistics of deaths from famine (see W. S. Lilly's " India and its Problems. ") that in the first So years of the nineteenth century the number of deaths from famine was 18, 000, 000.
