What reading level is A Memorial Discourse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, thus passing over the Granite Hills, and along the Green Mountains, (consecrated, in song, to Liberty, ) across the val- ley of the Connecticut River, to that of the Hudson. At Albany they were taken in and lodged by the venerable Mrs. Johnson, mother of Mrs. Stephen Myers.
Garnet was, by this time, too sick to sit up. He was carried on board a steamboat and laid upon the forward deck, the only place where colored persons were "allowed" in those days. There was no awning, no shel- 31 ter from... the broiling sun, no settee, no % ckair. His companions spread their coats for a bed fur him, and shaded his face with an umbrella ; they reached Xew York at nine o'clock in the evening, and he reached his welcome home and bed, to which he was confined nearly two months.
In 1836, in company with his old fellow-students, he entered Oneida Institute, then under the Presidency of that great reformer and scholar, Rev. Beriah Green. Here, at length, the young seekers after knowledge, found rest for their feet, not only in a region comparatively free from caste-hate, but under the repose, the intellectual calm, of one of the ablest thinkers of the century, whose most reticent modesty of habit and severe plainness of living cannot hide the fact that he is the "bearer of the quiver Whose sun-like shafts pierce tempest-winged Error As light may pierce the clouds when they dissever In the calm regions of the orient day !" It was worth while that these young men should have been expelled from Canaan, in order to reach the atmosphere which Beriah Green had made around Whitesboro, and that they might have the priceless privi- lege of learning, or rather sitting at his feet.
