What reading level is Railways And Their Rates, With An Appendix On the British Canal Problem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He drew it up full of soles, with which he proceeded to Hull, and went to look for more. The master of this vessel, and the discoverer of the famous fishing-grounds of the North Sea, and the founder of the East Coast fishing trade, died quite recently in the workhouse at Hull. However, the fame of this catch spread far and wide, and there being no trawlers then working out of 'the Humber, sundry fishermen from the South Coast settled in Hull and prospered. Their prosperity soon attracted the at...tention of Sir Edward Watkin, and he tried hard to induce some of them to make their headquarters at Grimsby.
The fishing vessels, never thought much of by the Hull Dock Company, then in the full tide of prosperity, were only allowed a comer of a small dock, and the trade was carried on under circum- stances of much difficulty. It did not need much persuasion on the part of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company to induce some half-dozen Hull smack-owners to settle in Grimsby.
These fishermen were told that no wharfage would be charged on their catches, and that the sole charge for dock dues would be half a crown a vessel.
