What reading level is The Case for Land Nationalisation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fred Home was a farmer under the late Colonel Kenyon-Slaney, M.P., and was as active on one side as his landlord was on the other. This was the rock of his offence, and the facts of the case may be summarised in the following letter which was addressed to the Colonel by Lord Stanley of Alderley in the latter part of 1905 : " In 1895 your tenant, Mr. Home, supported Captain Owen Thomas, a tenant farmer, in the Oswestry Division, against Mr. Stanley Leighton. You then wrote to him that if he took... an active part against your old friend, Mr. Stanley Leighton, it would seriously interfere with the friendly relations which should exist between land- lord and tenant.
" Mr. Home very properly replied denying your right to dictate as to his political action.
" I wonder what you would have said or thought if your tenants had written to you objecting to your supporting Mr. Stanley Leighton as likely to interfere with their friendly relations with you. It has probably never entered your head that superiority in wealth and BENEVOLENT (!) DESPOTISM 199 in social position are no excuses for political interference and dictation to others in the discharge of a public duty.
