What reading level is Handbook to the British Indian Section book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Portuguese gave the name of Pintadoes to the chintzes of India when they first saw them at Calicut. Indeed the cotton tissues and stuffs of India have always been even more sought after for the beauty and brilliance of their natural dyes, than for the fine- ness and softness with which they are woven ; and one of the greatest improvements in English textile manufactures would be the substitution of the rich deep-toned Indian dyes for the harsh flaring chemicals, especially of the Magenta se...ries, at present in use. Mr. Wardle, of Leek, has paid great attention to this matter, especially in connexion with the application of dyes to the tusser silk of India.
The Maharajah of Cashmere has, it is said, adopted an effec- tual plan for the suppression of the Magenta dyes within his kingdom. First, a duty of 45 per cent, is levied on them at the frontier ; and at a certain distance within the frontier, they are confiscated and at once destroyed.
The great export cotton manufactures of India have long fallen before the competition of Manchester.
