What reading level is Ireland And England in the Past And At Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Irish writers have seen in it an intolerable burden laid upon their country despite the pledge once given that Ireland's ability to pay should always be considered. Since THE FAMINE AND THE FENIANS 145 that time over-taxation has been the subject of fre- quent complaint. In 1896 a Financial Commission of the government reported that because of the equalization of taxes the result had been very un- equal: that Ireland was paying one-eleventh of the revenues of the United Kingdom, though her tax-... able capacity was not more than one-twentieth; that from her taxable surplus Great Britain paid less than two shillings in the pound, Ireland five times that much. This report has been much enlarged upon by recent Nationalist writers, and their striking conclu- sions have been spread broadcast for purposes of de- nunciation and propaganda. But there have always been justifiable differences of opinion about the Re- port, and strong dissenting opinions have been main- tained about the matter. On the other side it is as- serted nowadays that actually most of the taxation paid by Irishmen is upon their tobacco and liquor, and that far from being overtaxed, Irishmen in Ire- land are taxed less than the inhabitants of Great Britain, and less than Irishmen in any other country in the world.
