What reading level is Joshua Rowntree Microform book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been said of him that his chief power to influence the world for righteousness lay in the force of his own personality and its far-reaching effect upon others, the actual work 75 76 JOSHUA ROWNTREE which he accomplished being comparatively of less importance. But if this be true on the whole, his work on the opium question must be allowed to be an exception.
This crusade found in Joshua Rowntree, as well as in his brother-in-law 1, John E. Ellis, an ardent supporter, in Parliament and ou...tside. For more than a hundred years the English in India had forced opium upon China, in the manner described in the following quotation from Lord Morley's " Life of Gladstone " : The Chinese question was of the simplest. British subjects insisted on smuggling opium into China in the teeth of Chinese law. The British agent on the spot began war against China for protecting herself against these malpractices. There was no pretence that China was in the wrong, for in fact the British Government had sent out orders that the opium smugglers should not be shielded ; but the orders arrived too late, and war having begun, Great Britain felt bound to see it through, with the result that China was compelled to open four ports, to cede Hong Kong, and to pay an indemnity of 600, 000.
