To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
85 The enemies of the company have stated that the Indians have received ridiculously low prices for their furs and have been charged absurdly high prices for what they have had to buy. They say that the Indians have not been greatly bene- fited by their association with the company's ser- vants and that the company has discouraged set- tlement and the development of mining resources in the North West. During the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies the colonial policy of the leading European... nations favored the establishment of exclusive companies, organized primarily for trade and sec- ondarily for purposes of colonization. Among the more celebrated of these companies, besides those already mentioned, were the Brazil Com- pany of Lisbon; the Dutch East India Company; the Dutch West India Company; the Company of the Hundred Associates, trading in New France; the French West India Company; the French East India Company; the Louisiana Com- pany, established by John Law; the Virginia Companies of London and Plymouth, devoting es- pecial attention to colonization; the notorious South Sea Company; the short-lived Darien Com- pany.
