What reading level is The Ordeal of Free Labor in the British West Indies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
St. Thomas-in-the-East is such another parish as Westmoreland. St. David, on the south coast, is almost an unbroken wood-land, and Port Royal, the smallest parish in the island, is still celebrated for its extensive coffee properties. Such information con cerning Jamaica as I have been able to obtain and to give, I have picked up, as it were, by the way-side. For my inferences and conclusions I have had to de pend altogether upon my own observations. No re- THE BRITISH WEST INDIES. 229 liable s...tatistical returns can be procured in official quarters. The colony has passed through an agricul tural crisis of the severest kind; the question most vitally affecting all interests is admitted to be the la bor question and yet no effort has been made to ob tain authentic data as the proper basis for legislation. Legislators have legislated abundantly, but in the dark. They do not yet practically believe that the actual condition of Jamaica and the demonstrations of her past experience are the only safe axioms by which the problem that puzzles them can be solved, and the only safe beacons by which the colony can be guided to prosperity and life.
