What reading level is The Belgian Congo And the Berlin Act book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

From its lands the State draws now much inferior revenues, derived from sales and leases, dues on licences to collect rubber, &c. , the ivory tax, dues for cutting wood in domain forests, from which natives or persons cutting for domestic use are exempt ; and until 1913 l taxes on rubber destined to produce a fund for replantation. Revenues are also derived from posts and telegraphs, river transport, govern- ment plantations, and a very important item mines. The State is still also interested i...n various companies, but its revenues, over three millions in 1911, have become almost negligible with the surrender of its interests in the Abir, the Socie'te' anversoise, and the Kasai Company. Fees for services rendered include judicial fees, pilot and harbour dues, survey fees, registration fees, dues on permits to have arms, dues for custody in bonded warehouses, and a statistical tax.
Taxation proper includes a personal tax 2 which is paid mainly by non-natives but applied also to natives who have 'industrial establishments employing at least one worker: the tax is based on the size of the building, the number of employees, and the number of boats used.
