What reading level is The Royal Mail to Ireland Or An Account of the Origin And Development of the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The official distance for the latter was then fifty-six knots, or sea miles.
The Committee's inquiry extended over four months, and they listened to a great deal of evidence. Captain Skinner was a principal witness. According to his statements, the management of the Post Office was deplorable ; he said the ships were badly built and not really as strong as the sailing packets. As regards his own ship, the Escape, the stanchions and bulwarks were weak. He contended that there was no use making r...epresentations to the agent at Holyhead ; there were not enough seamen employed ; he had been directed by the Postmaster-General to discharge a man, and on representing that the ship was short-handed, got as an answer an order to discharge a second man ; orders seemed to be given without any consideration. For example, the rule for steamers leaving the Mersey was to starboard when meeting another steamer end on, but the agent at Holyhead had issued an order to the com- manders of the postal packets to port in the same cir- cumstances with the result that a collision would be certain.
