What reading level is Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a vision un- blurred by his own hasty fancies or his own wishes ; and a vision undimmed by prevalent mis-statements or current mis- 6 — conceptions ; a vision never long perturbed by the sophistries of men skilled to make "the worse appear the better reason. " Speaking once of the declaration of Galileo that a ball dropped and a ball shot from the mouth of the cannon would strike the ground at the same instant, Mr. Lincoln said that long before he knew the reasons for it, it seemed to hi...m that it must be so. Like Galileo, he saw the thing before and not merely after it was proved. He saw that the downward pull on both balls must be the same, and that the outward drive of the one had nothing whatever to do with the time of its fall. We may indeed wonder what might have been his career, if, like Michael Faraday, he had first read books of science in- stead of the Revised Statutes of Illinois or the Commentaries of Blackstone that he found in a pile of rubbish. Fate de- creed however, that this rare quality of penetrative wisdom should be applied to law and to statecraft — especially to the problems then challenging the thought of the American people.
