What reading level is Publications of the Rhode Island Historical Society volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" This language, though Williams was writing in 1677, implies that Smith was a miller by trade before he came here. Indeed, as he was 41 years old, he must for some time have been de- cided as to his means of livelihood. His trade, too, was neces sary to the well-being, if not to the existence, of the new community, a fact which may have influenced Williams in permitting him to come. Why, then, does the record of the mill in Providence date only from the Town's Order, March I, 1646 . -* The men... of the place — or rather the women on whom the burden would fall — would not have waited ten years and patiently pounded " samp " in hand mortars all that time be- fore the Town Council could be compelled to act in so impor- tant a matter — with a millwright living in the town, too. Would there not have been in all human probability a mill as early as there was a miller and that miller could get men to help him build a dam ?
THE FIRST TOWN MILL OF PROVIDENCE. I93 The Town Council's entry, then, was a new one, inspired by Smith's desire to render his venture permanent, or in other words, a monopoly by a written grant from the town, or it was a copy, dated when made, of an earlier agreement which was, perhaps, only a verbal grant.
