What reading level is A Letter to the Friends of Temperance in the State of New York Against Prohibit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With me the province of civil government is very narrow. Its sole office is to protect person and property. It is not to undertake to help the cause of religion, or education, or temperance.
" Second, Nothing more than maddening periling life and property But the dram-shop is the great manu- factory of madmen. Hence I would have Government shut up the dram-shop. In other words, I would have Government suppress the sale for a drink of all maddening liquors. I send you a copy of my letter of acce...ptance. " Very respectfully your friend, "GERRIT SMITH. " We all understood the meaning of the word " Pro- hibition, " as presented in the law of the 9th March, 1854, and the law of the llth of April, 1855, but in this letter Air. Smith carries his definition to a greater extent.
Yet there is something very strange in the first proposi- tion of this letter. He could not have selected terms more energetic and precise to express his disapprobation 8 of all law on these three great questions. And then how strange it sounds in the next sentence to hear him say that he " would have government shut up the dram shop, and suppress the sale for a drink of all maddening li- quors" ; but I do not desire to analyze his words.
