What reading level is Brief Review of the Origin, Progress, Present State, And Future Prospects of the Welland Canal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every grant had been heretofore closely contested. In 1834, Mr. Justice McLean, the Speaker, of the Legislative Assembly, and always a promi- nent supporter of the Welland Canal, carried the bill by his casting vote ; and without individual security, it could not have been passed.
In 1841, on a division, only two out of eighty members op- posed the grant. From this period the interest of the private Shareholders in the work ceased.
1842. — This year the Government assumed the entire control, an...d commenced the enlargement, under the superintendance of the Board of Works. The expenditure the last six years, was £114,467 — averaging about £19,078 per year. See Table 1.
1843. — This year, the aforementioned act was amended, by the act appended hereto, [Letter C] under the provisions of which, Debentures were issued to the private Shareholders, for the amount of the capit&,l paid in.
The Welland Canal Company have been reproached, from time to time, because the expenditure exceeded the estimates ; but a comparison with any similar work, will prove whether this accusation is well founded or not.
