What reading level is The Society of Merchant Venturers of Bristol Being a Lecture Given At the Royal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Society, as custodians of the trade of the port, naturally resisted these impositions, and the annals of that century are a record of perpetual struggles with the Crown. It was a great expense, and the Society continually dispatched representatives to London with instruc- tions how far they could submit, and with large sums for the King's favourites, whose fees for arranging audiences were heavy. As a rule these delegates were told how much they could pay to each courtier ; sometimes the mi...ssion was unsuccessful and the emissaries were cast into jail.
The records of the Society are silent as to the part played during the great struggle between Charles I. And the Parliamentarians .
During the early part of the struggle the city was occupied by the Parliamen- tary forces under Fiennes, who levied heavy toll on the city and on the members of the Society. These exactions led to a rising on behalf of Prince Rupert, which was unsuccessful, and the two ring- 3 32 leaders, Robert Yeamans and George Bowcher, both members of the Society, were executed.
