To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ryotwar system as it thus existed in practice, nothing can well be more revolting to justice, and to all sound principles of government. " Notwithstanding this outspoken condemnation, this system, so "revolting to justice", continued to flourish without one harsh feature in it being removed or even mitigated until the outbreak of the, great insurrec- tion in 1857. -Nor must it be forgotten that while thus appropriating to itself the entire rental of the soil of British India, the East India Com...pany, for the first sixty years of its supremacy, did absolutely nothing for the land which it professed to own. Not merely did it construct no public works of its own, but the magnificent works with which its Hindoo and Moslem predecessors had covered the country were allowed to fall into ruin. In the Gangetic Provinces, the Moslem rulers had con- structed and maintained, in good repair, a splendid net- work of raised roads, linking the great towns together. During the first thirty years of the Company's rule, so entirely was this function of government neglected, that tbese roads entirely disappeared ; and in Madras the tanks for irrigation were allowed, in like manner, to become useless to the inhabitants.
