What reading level is A Discourse On the Character Public Services And Death of John Quincy Adams book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the first session of the twenty-sixth Congress, I remember, that a similar, though not so violent attack, was made upon him, with a simi- lar result; and I remember, when the remark was subsequently made to one of the members of the House: "Why, Mr. Adams seems to know more than any of you, " the prompt reply was: — "Yes; more than all of us together. " Another trait of intellectual character in Mr. Adams, which ought not to be passed without notice, is imagination. This fac- ulty, howev...er, was certainly not so prominent in him, as was that of memory. The two faculties, indeed, are never displayed, in very eminent degree, by the same person; because they depend on principles and habits of association differing from each other, and counteracting each other's operation. Memory depends on arbi- trary connexions, gross resemblances, and scientific classifications ; but imagination on slight analogies, shadowy visions, etherial views, and transcendental nights of fancy. A rich, poetical im- agination, therefore, is seldom found in connexion with a giant- memory.
