What reading level is Spain And Her Colonies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At every seaport, rapa- cious shipmasters exacted from the defenseless travelers the THEIR CATHOLIC MAJESTIES. 107 greater part of their remaining possessions, as the price of a passage to some neighboring coast ; and in many cases the passenger was tossed overboard ere the voyage was completed, and his goods confiscated to the crew. A rumor having got abroad that the fugitives were in the habit of swallowing jewels and gold pieces in order to evade the royal decree, thousands of unhappy beings... were ripped up by the greedy knife of the enemy, on land or sea, on the chance of discovering in their mutilated remains some little store of treasure.
And thus, north, south, east, and west, the Jews strag- gled and struggled over Spain; and undeterred by the. Mani- fold terrors of the sea, a vast multitude of exiles, whose homes in Spain once lay in sunny Andalusia, sought and found an uncertain abiding place in neighboring Africa.
Of all Christian countries, it was in neighboring Portu- gal that the greatest number of the exiles found refuge and shelter; until, after five brief years of peace and compara- tive prosperity, the heavy hand of Castilian intolerance once more descended upon them, and they were driven out of the country, at the bidding of Isabella and her too dutiful daughter, the hope of Portugal and of Castile.
