What reading level is British Dominions Their Present Commercial And Industrial Condition a Series O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The necessity of defending the settlers, Dutch and English, against the inroads of the aboriginal tribes, and of making certain that British influence alone should prevail throughout the sub-continent, and that no other power should gain the right of interference there in our affairs there, indeed, are the root-causes which made it impossible for any Government, however desirous of limiting the responsibilities of empire, to overcome, or per- manently to resist, the natural effects of the restl...ess enterprise, missionary, commercial, and industrial, of SOUTH AFRICA 91 our own people in these far-off lands. For in the history of British South Africa the Government has never taken the lead in the matter of expansion, and has often been its strong opponent. Witness the first withdrawal from the Cape in 1803 ; the refusal to take possession of Natal in 1834; the recall of Sir Benjamin D'Urban in 1835 for pushing the boundary of the Cape Colony to the Kei River ; the abandonment of the Orange River Sovereignty in 1854; the recall of Sir George Grey for his persistent advocacy of a scheme of South African federation, and his reinstatement on the condition that he ceased to advocate that policy ; the retrocession of the Transvaal in 1881 ; the refusal to annex what is now German South-West Africa in 1867, 1877, and 1883; the refusal to purchase Delagoa Bay.
