What reading level is Irish Nationality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Irish people suffered a long agony unmatched, perhaps, in European history. Few of the Protestant country gentry had established their for- tunes; their subservience which debarred them from public duty, their privilege of calling in English soldiers to protect them from the results of every error or crime, had robbed them of any high intelligence in politics or science in their business of land management, and thus doubly impoverished them. England on her part had thrown into the sea from ...her dominion a greater wealth of talent, industry, and bravery than had ever been exiled from any country in the world: there was not a country in Europe, and not an occupation, where Irishmen were 180 IRISH NATIONALITY not in the first rank — as field-marshals, admirals, ambassadors, prime ministers, scholars, physicians, merchants, founders of mining industries, soldiers, and labourers.
In exchange for this an incompetent and inferior landed gentry was established in Ireland. Instead of profit for the govern- ment there was plain bankruptcy — "Eng- land," it was said, "must now either support this kingdom, or allow her the means of supporting herself." As for the Empire, the colonies had been flooded with the men that England had wronged.
