To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The assumption was entirely false. Whilst the servants of the Company were amassing colossal fortunes, the Company itself was advancing by rapid strides to bankruptcy. ' Its debts were already estimated at more than six millions sterling. It supported an army of about 30, 000 men. It paid about one million sterling a year in the form of tributes, pensions, and compensations to the emperor, the Nabob of Bengal, and other great native personages. Its incessant wars, though they had hitherto been ...always successful, were always expensive, and a large portion of the wealth which should have passed into the general exchequer was still diverted to the private accounts of its servants. ' 3 Two great calamities hastened the crisis. In the south of India, Ilyder Ali harried the Car- natic, defeated the English forces, and dictated peace on his own terms in 1769. In the north, the great famine of 1770 swept away more than a third of the inhabitants of Bengal. Pecuniary Yet the directors went on declaring dividends at the rassments rates of 12 and 12| per cent.
