What reading level is Among Friends book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

There is no form of human ac- tivity which calls into play so many qualities at once, or which demands the constant exercise of such energetic virtue.
" Like a poet hidden in the light of thought," the politician's private conscience is hidden in the light of his public duty. He is himself a poet — a maker. He works not through words, but through the impulses and convictions of other men. His materials are the most ordinary — the events of the passing day, and the crude averages of unselected h
...umanity. He takes them as they come, and remoulds them nearer to the heart's desire. Out of the conflicting aims of the multi- tudes of individuals, he creates the harmonies of concerted action.
To some the praise of politicians may seem 1 66 IN PRAISE OF POLITICIANS but the glorification of worldly success. " But what," they ask, " about the failures ? The world acclaims the hero who marches to triumph at the head of a great people. But what of one who is far in advance of his own time, the lonely cham- pion of unpopular truth, who dies unrecognized by the world he serves?" The answer must be that there are good and great men whom we praise for other qualities than those of the politician.
