What reading level is Memoirs of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton Bart book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the free negroes of Hayti had increased by 520, 000 in twenty years, that is, their numbers had more than doubled.
" Now, Sir, " he continued, " if the blacks in slavery had increased as the free blacks have increased, the slave population should have added in the last ten years 200, 000 to its numbers ; whereas that number has been diminished by 45, 000. To keep pari passu with the free blacks, the blacks in slavery should have increased 20, 000 a year; whereas they have decreased 4000 a y...ear. They should have increased fifty a day, whereas they have decreased ten a day. For this effect, this striking exception to the universal law of nature, there must be a specific cause. It could not occur by accident. What is the cause ? I will tell the House what it is not. It is not, as it has been affirmed to be, any dis- proportion between the sexes ; any deficiency in the number of females. In 1814, the number of female slaves exceeded that of males by 5000. The cause, therefore, of this decrease in the slave population, is not any disproportion between the sexes ; it is not war sweeping away its thou- sands; it is not climate ; it is not soil.
