What reading level is Abraham Lincoln : An Appreciation, By One Who Knew Him book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had the rare faculty of hiding his secret under a pleasant jest, and of illus- trating his arguments with an amusing'anecdote, and this faculty came into play on many occasions during his trip to Washington, when the public was as anxious to learn his policy as he was to conceal it. All that was unpleasant in the public reception was quite forgotten in his bearing at this social function, and all went away delighted with his good humor, his jocular talk and the facility with which he caught ...the temper of every group with which he conversed. It is not too much to say that all were delighted with the distinguished guest.
Mr. Lincoln proceeded to Washington and received his oath of office from the venerable Chief Justice Taney whose decision in the Dred Scott case had done so much to intensify the anti-slavery sentiment of the [23] North, and to hasten the opening of the temple of Janus.
It was the old civilization passing its torch to the new.
From the moment of Lincoln's election the struggle which followed was inevitable, and the sooner it came the more easily it was to be met, and the more nobly concluded.
