What reading level is Abraham Lincoln a Biographical Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The natural kindliness of his tone, softening prejudice and disarming partisan rancor, would often open to his reasoning a way into minds most unwilling to receive it. Yet his greatest power consisted in the charm of his individuality. That charm did not, in the ordi- nary way, appeal to the ear or to the eye. His voice was not melodious; rather shrill and piercing, espe- cially when it rose to its high treble in moments of great animation. His figure was unhandsome, and the action of his unwie...ldy limbs awkward. He com- manded none of the outward graces of oratory as they are commonly understood. His charm was of a different kind. It flowed from the rare depth and ABRAHAM LINCOLN 69 genuineness of his convictions and his sympathetic feelings. Sympathy was the strongest element in his nature. One of his biographers, who knew him before he became President, says: "Lincoln's com- passion might be stirred deeply by an object present, but never by an object absent and unseen. In the former case he would most likely extend relief, with little inquiry into the merits of the case, because, as he expressed it himself, it 'took a pain out of his own heart.
