What reading level is Ireland : a Study in Nationalism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people who pay for it are the native colonized Irish. It is a bitter consequence of their having been colonized.
STANDING PAT FOR PAT'S SAKE The Irish railway situation gives an excellent clue to the large problem of Irish under-production, its agricultural and industrial under-development. In 1906-1910 there was an Irish railways commission, appointed by the viceroy. Three of its seven mem- bers, one an assistant secretary of the board of trade, another general manager of the Lancashire an...d Yorkshire railway, the third a man of means, signed a minority report. There are circles, I am sure, in which this minority report would be taken as the last word of sound business judgment. It en- tirely opposes the notion of railways publicly man- aged. It declares, with no intention of being funny, that "the railway companies have done- what they could, in their own interest, and so in the public in- terest, to stimulate traffic," begging the whole ques- tion of public interest.
11 If traffic has not expanded as much as it might had the conditions been more favorable, the failure must, we think, be attributed to a variety of causes, [ 165 ] of which railway service is only one, and not the most important." Those causes are indicated under the large head, " the decay of industries." In an aside the minority admits that the railways " have tended to check the development of Irish manufac- tures by facilitating the imports of British goods into Ireland," but this of course has nothing to do with 11 the decay of industries." Emigration, perhaps, had a good deal to do with that decay?
