What reading level is The Forty Eighth Annual Report of the Vermont Colonization Society Together Wi book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the close of the war there fortunately happened to be in the governorship of this little island of Mauritius, a man who considered the act of the English government in abolishing the slave trade as not intended for mere political effect, but for practical and rigid execution. Accordingly, on the 12th day of September in the year 181G, Sir Robert Farquhar, the Governor of Mauritius, ad- dressed a note to Earl Bathurst of the British ministry, in which he recommended a system of policy towards... Madagascar which should not merely make that island an appendage to the British sovereignty in the Indian Ocean, but should render it a powerful means for ex- tirpating, at its fountain head, the source of the African slave trade in that quarter.
In consequence of this recommendation, a treaty was finally entered into with the principal chief of the island, King Kadama, in which it was expressly stipulated that the foreign slave trade should be totally abolished throughout all his dominions ; and in consideration of this conversion, the king was to receive annually from the British government effective elements of civilization in the shape of a considerable sum of gold, and a certain number of arms, uniforms, and equipments.
