What reading level is The New Empire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What the Dutch resisted was oppressive taxation whether by Church or State.
^ Das Zeitaltfr der Fugger, I., 1 55-6.
2 Despatch of Sir John Mason, Life and Times of Sir Thomas Gresham, Burgon, I., 1 75.
102 THE NEW EMPIRE chap.
Motley also has admitted that of the seventeen provinces, as late as 1576, "fifteen were, on the whole, loyal to the king ; while the old religion had, of late years, taken root so rapidly again, that perhaps a moiety of their population might be considered as Catholic." ...1 Holland and Zealand were of the Reformed Faith, but they were poor and maritime, and even in Hol- land the capital sided with Philip. The Prince of Orange thought that the defection of Amsterdam injured the patriots more than the campaigns of Alva. Most modern authorities, therefore, agree that financial distress, rather than religious persecution, occasioned the war. Mr. A. J. Crosby, the editor of the British State Papers relating to this period, is a good example. " Brabant and the rest of the provinces which depended on their manufactures and were in- finitely more wealthy and pleasant to live in [than Holland and Zealand] were for the most part Catho- lic, and it was on account of its avarice and tyranny that they disliked the Spanish rule, and not through its interference with their religion, which was prob- ably not so great as is usually imagined." ^ The abdication of the emperor, therefore, a Flem- ing who understood the material interests of his native country, and enjoyed the confidence of the conserva- tive class, caused regret.
