To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Nixon perceived at once that the man who should succeed in introducing Welsh coal to the French market would have made a oreat com- mercial coup. Nor was he the man to neglect an opening of this kind when it presented itself to him. He went promptly to Mr. Wood to ask for a letter of introduction to the colliery owners or merchants from whom this wonderful coal was to be obtained. The answer given by Mr. Wood is interesting, in these days of development, as an illustration of the infancy of the... coal trade. Mr. Wood showed no desire to extend his business, or to try fresh fields and pastures new. Coal, it appeared, was none too easy to obtain. Two boat-loads a day, which could easily be disposed of in London, was the most that he could get from South Wales, and even that was not always forthcoming. If Merthyr ran short of coal for its own use, then the vendors there gave the pre- ference to their fellow-townsmen, and London had to do without it. From Mr. Wood, therefore, Mr. Nixon got no information, no aid, and no coal.
