What reading level is The Share of Spain in the History of the Pacific Ocean book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After much discussion, a great portion of opinion has settled upon this formula of compromise; Spain conceived and wrote the most humane and elevated legislation for inferior peoples which is known to history, but this legislation (as well as that for governmental administration, which also interested the Spaniards) remained a dead letter in spite of the existence and the propaganda of numerous defenders of human rights, not only for the Indians, but also for the negroes, it being granted that ...the first known abolitionists were Spaniards.
I do not believe that this formula expresses the reality of events as they occurred. Let it be noted that if it is accepted as valid, it is equivalent to acknowledging that, save for a restricted minor- ity of cultivated and generous men who conceived and issued SPAIN IN THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN 49 those laws, from the time of Queen Isabella, and who in the professor's chair, on the printed page, and in the pulpit de- fended the liberty and dignity of the Indians and negroes save for these, that the mass of Spaniards were so cruel and undisciplined, or were so thoroughly imbued with the general ideas of contempt for inferiors and desire for their exploita- tion which prevailed at that time in Europe (and indeed these same ideas were applied by all the other colonizing powers) that they neither complied with these laws, nor omitted a single oppor- tunity to sacrifice to their selfishness and ferocity all the peoples with whom they came in contact.
