What reading level is Origin of the Institutions of Rhode Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are now approaching one of the most interesting periods in the annals of Rhode Island ; a period when the hitherto independent set- tlements came together, under their charter, to form one body, and to be governed by th. E same laws.
Very soon after the Island was settled, a committee was appointed 13 to write to Sir Henry Vane, desiring him to use his influence to obtain a charter.
It is evident that those who first settled Newport and Portsmouth, did not intend to join themselves with any ...other community, but wished to be alone ; to form their own government, pass their own laws, and, unimpeded, monage their own affairs ; for they wished the charter to embrace only the Island.
That they meant to be independent of all others, we have the direct testimony of Dr. Clarke; for when he went to Plymouth to ascertain if Aquidneck fell within their Patent, he said to the authorities of that place, that they " were resolved, through the help of Christ, to get clear of all, and be of ourselves" They had no more intention of incorporating themselves with Roger Williams and his settlement, than they had of incorporating themselves with Plymouth or Massachu- setts.
