What reading level is Handbook of the Boston Public Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In strange inconsistency with this, there is a porteria, or arrangement, by which the natives are brought to Ibo, on the Mozambique coast, to be then shipped on board French vessels for these colonies. One of the Makololo chiefs, Kamakukan, it is reported, put a lot of natives into slave sticks, sent them to Ibo, and was at once supplied with guns and powder. The question suggests itself, why the Portuguese should not send their convicts to their Island of St. Thomas, as France does to New Cale...donia, or England did to Norfolk Island, and thus rid the continent of so great a plague. Secondly, one may well ask why a man must become a slave dealer before he can get guns or ammunition to pi'otect himself. Upon the East Coast of" Africa — from which the waterway of the lakes is at a distance of from 400 to 600 miles — the Government of Portugal has not only prohibited the slave trade, but abolished the status of slavery; and it is much to be regretted that these intentions are so badly carried out The Seeyid of Zanzibar has also prohibited the slave trade, but has equal difficulty in cari'ying out his policy.
