What reading level is Miscellaneous Writings On Slavery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gholson, of Virginia, in his speech in the Legislature of that State, January 18, 1831, (see Richmond Whig, ) says: " The legal maxim of partus sequitur ventrem is coeval with the ex- istence of the rights of property itself, and is founded in wisdom and justice. It is only on the justice and inviolabihty of this maxim, that the master foregoes the service of the female slave, has her nursed and attended during the period of her gestation, and raises the helpless and infant offspring. The value... of the property justifies the expense ; and I do not hesitate to say, that in its increase consists much of our wealth. " Professor Dew, now President of the College of William and Mary, Virginia, in his review of the debate in the Virginia Legislature, 1831-2, speaking of the revenue arising from the trade, says : " A full equivalent being thus left in the place of the slave, this em- igration becomes an advantage to the State, and does not check the black population as much as at first view we might imagine, because it furnishes every inducement to the master to attend to the negroes, to ENCOURAGE BREEDING, and to cause the greatest numher possible to be raised.
