What reading level is Miscellaneous Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The end of October, 1826, was also marked by a general opposition to the new imposts ; but repeated executions at length brought the people to their senses, and made them regret the loss of the Janissaries, who had been their protectors as well as tormentors, inasmuch as they had never allowed the price of provisions to be raised. These disturbances exasperated the sultan. He did not attribute them to the right cause, distress, but to a perverse spirit of Janissarism, a suspicion of harbouring ...which was death to any one. He farther ex- tended his financial operations by raising the miri (land tax) all over the empire, and, in ensuing years, by granting monopolies on all articles of commerce to the highest bidder.
In consequence, lands, which had produced abundance, in 1830 lay waste. Articles of export, as opium, silk, &c, gave the growers a i handsome revenue when they could sell them to the Frank merchants, but at the low prices fixed by the monopolists they lose, and the cultivation languishes.
