What reading level is The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 01 (Of 12) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our _trading_ companies, as well as individualimporters, are a fit subject of revenue by customs. Some establishmentspay us by a _monopoly_ of their consumption and their produce. This, nominally no tax, in reality comprehends all taxes. Such establishmentsare our colonies. To tax them would be as erroneous in policy, asrigorous in equity. Ireland supplies us by furnishing troops in war; andby bearing part of our foreign establishment in peace. She aids us atall times by the money that her abse...ntees spend amongst us; which is nosmall part of the rental of that kingdom. Thus Ireland contributes herpart. Some objects bear port-duties. Some are fitter for an inlandexcise. The mode varies, the object is the same. To strain these fromtheir old and inveterate leanings, might impair the old benefit, and notanswer the end of the new project. Among all the great men of antiquity, _Procrustes_ shall never be my hero of legislation; with his iron bed, the allegory of his government, and the type of some modern policy, bywhich the long limb was to be cut short, and the short tortured intolength.
