What reading level is The Cotton Question book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One hundred grains of the subsoil yield on analysis — Silica 90.000 per cent. Alumina 2.000 " Lime 0.280 " Magnesia 0.300 " Potash 0.290 " Soda 2.014 " Peroxides of iron and manganese. 1.200 " Phosphoric acid 0.800 " Sulphuric acid 0.007 " Chlorine 0.005 « Crenic, apocrenic, and humic acids . 1.020 " Insoluble vegetable matter 2. 790 " 100.716 " One thousand grains of this subsoil, on digestion with a solution of carbonate of ammonia, at a boiling heat, yield 12^ grains of soluble organic matte...r and salts ; and, on combustion, two grains of saline or mineral matter re- main, leaving for organic matters dissolved 12-|- grains. The ash contains phosphate of hme, sulphate of lime, soda, potash, and chlorine. From the composition of this subsoil, it will appear that deep or subsoil ploughing is indicated as appropriate for this plantation ; for the subsoil is richer in certain im- portant ingredients than the surface soil, as will be seen on comparing the proportions of soda and of phosphoric acid.
