What reading level is History of New Zealand volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The process must be described. The manner in which the General Government and the Otago- Provincial Government conspired to defraud the Maoris of their reserve at Prince's Street in Dunedin ; the aid afforded by Mr. Stafford in procuring the Governor's signature, and the obstinacy with which the crime was adhered to after exposure, are too significant to be passed over. The early purchases in the Middle Island (1844) from the natives by the Government, through the agency of Captain Symonds ; Mr.... Kemp's deed of purchase of the Otago block ; and Mr. Mantell's subsequent employment as Commissioner for acquiring lands in the Middle Island, must be borne in mind. Between 1848 and 1856 Mr. Mantell acquired about 30, 000, 000 acres for about 5, 000 plus certain promises, which were accepted by the Maoris on the strength of his word, and which the colonists with a few noble exceptions have deliberately and pertinaciously broken. In 1852 he urged that a small reserve should be made for the con- venience of natives visiting Dunedin.
