What reading level is The New Pacific British Policy And German Aims book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Land Commissions have been quite a feature in the XI LAND TENURES 171 course of British rule in the Pacific, but this one is notable as dealing: with German claims in a fashion which thoroughly disgusted the claimants. It may be explained that Fison had gone to Fiji in 1863 as a missionary, leaving in 1871. He returned in 1875 after the cession to and annexa- tion by Great Britain, and left again in 1883. In the two terms of residence he established a reputation which places him among the men w...ho laid deep the foundations of British rule, and who by their enterprise and learning influenced the minds of leaders of thought and of statesmen in English-speaking lands. His value as missionary and man of science has yet to be properly appraised and his biography remains to be written. Those who knew him realised his power, and a close friend like Dr. George Brown finds it difficult to speak of him except in glowing words and pregnant phrases. Brown and jMacGregor alone are alive out of the band of men who exerted so much influence in the Pacific from 1875 onward as missionaries or administrators ; but Fison is brought in here because, though dead more than a decade, he still lives in his writings, in the questions he raised, and in the friends he made.
