What reading level is A Memoir of John Leeds Bozman the First Historian of Maryland a Paper book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is an unhappy truth, which cannot well be avoided under any form of government, that power and wealth are concomitant. If prop- erty, by a restriction of alienation, is allowed to accumulate in families, it must follow that an acquisition of power will be vested in them in an equal proportion. Hence aristocracies of a for- midable-nature might spring up. Although our State Constitution might, perhaps, be improved by a few alterations, yet, in a general point of view, it is certainly as happy... an adjustment of the democratic form as could have been devised. But if we once give into a habit of encouraging by our laws an accumulation of wealth in families, I know not how long we may retain this excellent form of government. It is not that I would affect to be alarmed at the claims of a few individuals to some latent estates-tail. It is the principle which I combat. I repeat it, that if the Legis- lature show such sacred regard to these imaginary 35 rights of families, the princii)le may liereafter be adopted and engrafted into otlier laws, wliicli may lay the emhrvo seeds of a fatal aristocracy.
