What reading level is The Indian Policy of Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus the project was adopted, with a few trifling additions, so that the whole, as Las Casas tells us, was iniquitous and cruel, with some laws that were impossible and others that were worse than bar- barous. 2 As the keepers of the royal conscience had decided that it was for the service of God that the king should partition out the Indians, the courtiers at once applied for grants. Bishop Fonseca obtained 200 serfs in each of the four islands, Secretary Conchillos secured 1, 100 in all and n...umerous others 200 apiece.
1 Ibid. , Cap. 8, 9, 12 (LXIV, pp. 386, 392, 410).
2 Ibid. , Cap. 13, 15, 16, 17 (LXIV, pp. 417 sqq. ).
132 Yale Review. [Aug.
Moreover, all the royal officials in the islands, and the judges of appeal, who were sent there in 1511 and 1512, received allot- ments in addition to their salaries, so that the system was buttressed in the court, while in the colonies those who should have restrained its abuses profited by them. The courtiers sent out agents to work their Indians, which they did inexorably and pitilessly; as the wretches died off they claimed that the number should be made up; as there were not enough to go around a new deal would be made and those, who had not influence were stripped; these, seeing that they were liable at any time to lose their serfs, thought it better to work them to death, and in this frenzied covetousness no laws protecting the natives were observed.
