What reading level is Liability of the Government of Great Britain for the Depredations of Rebel Privateers On the Commerce of the United States, Considered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of the Eebel States to the United States and of Ireland to Great Britain are the same, each is part and parcel of the nation to which it belongs ; the position of those States and of Ireland is, in every " material " respect, the same ; each of them, compared with the nation of which it is a part, is equally inferior in pop- ulation, naval and military power, armaments, and pecuniary resources; in the incipient period of her supposed rebellion, Ireland would, at the most, be "recognized " only ...as a "bellig- erent," and thus they would each be alike in having no " na- tional character." Ireland would have no navy, and no avail- able ports, (as doubtless they would be blockaded as are the rebel ports,) and so, in these respects, again there would be a precise similarity ; in the case of the Irish rebellion, we should have the same right to acknowledge her as a "belligerent," and to proclaim our "neutrality," as Great Britain had in reference . to the Bebel States. Suppose, then, this Irish rebellion, under circumstances relatively to Great Britain so precisely similar to those of the Bebel States relatively to the United States, and then suppose that privateers were fitted out and despatched from the port of New- York under commission from the Irish Rebel Government, manned, provisioned, and armed in New- York — suppose that those Irish rebel privateers should burn and de- stroy hundreds of British vessels and their Cargoes to the value of millions of pounds sterling, what would all England, from the queen on the throne to the pauper in the workhouse, with one voice exclaim ?
