What reading level is The Discoveries of Prince Henry the Navigator And Their Results Being the Na book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have the same testimony from Diogo Gomez de Cintra, and the same from Cadamosto. It must be acknowledged that three independent cotemporary wit- nesses are sufficient to clear the prince from the imputa- tion of cruelty as to the mode of deportation of these negroes.
That the importation of negroes into the West Indies and America is not due either directly or indirectly to Prince Henry is indisputable. The very time when that importation commenced is not known, but the earliest date that an...y one has ever ventured to suggest was half a century after the death of the prince. The country was Spanish, and jealously exclusive of Portuguese encroach- ment of any kind.
122 CHAPTER IX.
THE CANARIES.
There lias been a belief prevailing in every religion from the oldest times tliat the souls of the departed cannot enter into bliss without first crossing a river. The doctrine originated apparently in India, whence it passed into Assyria and Chaldea, and so into Persia. From Asia it extended into Greece and Egypt, thence through Ethiopia to the country of the Gallas, and at length we find it, as Bowdich tells us, among the natives neighbour- ing on the country of the Ashantees.
