To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The merchants had onlytwo remedies to propose. One was the granting of a bounty, to enablethem to compete with the French and the Americans, who were sustainedby bounties; but, although England was a protectionist country at thattime, it gave only bounties in favor of rich men, and not of the poor. The other was the deportation of the principal part of theinhabitants, now numbering 70, 000, to the neighboring colonies.
The honest, sensible, easy plan, that of opening up the land tocultivation, ...so that the starving people might be able to grow theirown food and breed their own cattle, was the one thing that theseso-called practical Englishmen would not permit, because it mightinterfere with the profits of the British land-owner and merchant.
At that very time the local authorities of Massachusetts were giving abounty for each Newfoundland fisherman brought into the State.
When Sir Thomas Cochrane was made governor in 1825, his governmentmade the first road in the island. For one hundred and forty-fiveyears England had been master of the island, and not a single road hadbeen built suitable for wheeled carriages.
