What reading level is The Case of Ireland Stated Historically book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The press was " muzzled," and public meetings, even when legally convened by sheriffs and magistrates, were dispersed by military violence. The fact of martial law alone suffices to demonstrate the system of terrorism and violence under cover of which the baleful measure was successfully carried through the Irish Houses of Parlia- ment. But this was not the only agency. Another was employed which has seldom proved ineffective when Eng- land had an end to gain : — the potential influence of gold... and titles, of bribery and patronage.
The corruption resorted to by the English Government to carry the Act of Union, is the most stupendous example of wholesale bribery presented in the annals of any nation.
Three millions of pounds sterling, $15,000,000, is the accepted estimate of the "pecuniary consideration" paid in exchange for votes in Parliament in favor of the Union; besides this, peerages, judgeships, appointments in the army and navy, the sanctuary of law, and even the temples of religion were in like manner the subject of traffic for the same nefarious end.
