What reading level is Parliamentary Reform An Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We must therefore assume that for the present, to some considerable extent, the influence of such boroughs must con- tinue to exist. In 183. 2 there was a popular feeling which carried every thing before it. Now all we can hope to carry is a compromise. As a compromise, the best expedient which we can suggest is to combine such boroughs. The English respect for vested interests would preclude the popularity of a sweeping act ; but the English liking for a moderate expedient would be a strong su...pport to any measure that could be so called. The effect of such a combination would probably be in great part to set the joint constituency free from the yoke of great proprietors. If Lord A is supreme in borough a, and Mr. B in town b, a and b combined will probably be controlled by neither. The local feeling of b will resist Lord A ; that of a would be rigid to the enticements of Mr. B. If one of the boroughs should be " in- dependent/' that is to say, purchased voter by voter at each elec- tion, its inhabitants would probably rather be purchased by any one than by the proprietor of the antagonistic borough.
