What reading level is The British Empire Six Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1884: the Germans came into South- West Africa, acting while the British Government hesitated, taking all Namaqua and Damaraland, except Walfisch Bay. Over which the Queen's sovereignty had been proclaimed in 1878. About the same date began great finds of gold in the Transvaal, bringing in a stream of immigrants, the ulti- mate cause of unrest, revolution, war, and annexation. The British South Africa Company received its charter in 1889 ; in 1890 Mashonaland was occupied ; in 1891 the chart...er was extended to cover great regions beyond the Zambesi ; in 1893 Matabeleland was conquered ; and at the end of December 1895 Jameson, the Administrator of Matabeleland, broke into the Transvaal Republic with a small, armed force of the Company's men, to precipitate a still-born revolution. After the raid the Company was placed under Imperial control ; but in the Transvaal friction grew stronger between the Uitlanders, kept outside the pale of citizenship, and the Boers, aware of their danger and arming for war.
