To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From at least mistaken motives of humanity, he finally proposed to the Emperor, Charles V., a project to import slaves from Africa, representing that the warm cli- mate of the South would be congenial to their natures, and that thus the labours of the surviving Indians might be greatly relieved. * This project, unfortunately, was adopted, and laid the foundation of African slavery in the Western World. *' The condition of the poor Indians, however, was by no means bettered. The Bishop of Ghiapa..., I mean Las Casas, had the mortification to find the chains which it was the ob- ject of his life to break, rivetted more firmly, whilst the poor Africans became, through his influence, fellow-sufierers with the Indians in slavery I The final and mournful history of these poor Indians, has been written, in one sentence,* by the biographer of Columbus. Says Irving, ** They have long since passed away, pining and perishing beneath the domination of the strangers, whom they welcomed so joy- fully to their shores." * The error of Las Casas, is one into which even good men, of ardent temperament and philanthropic minds, may sometimes fall, impressed with the importance of a subject which enlists the best feelings of human nature.
