What reading level is Opinions of the English Press On the British Columbian Railway Question book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be that the original contract was some- what rashly entered into, and that Canada, as young countries are wont to do, promised more than she had any reasonable prospect of performing. The construction of a railway from sea to sea upon British territory, however important as a means of welding the Do- minion together, was not the only object to be considered. If in the process of cementing the union we ruined its most important member, the result could hardly be satisfactory from an Imper...ial point of view. Justice and good policy alike demanded that the terms of the contract of 1871 should be liberally interpreted — that Canada should not be asked to bear a burden disproportionate to her strength — that British Columbia should not be forced into a premature development at the expense of her neighbors. All these considerations we cannot doubt were well weighed by Lord Carnarvon when he proposed the compromise of 1874. What we have to complain of now is, that not only have the terms even of that modified contract not been complied with, but that no attempt whatever appears to have been made to comply with them.
