What reading level is Abraham Lincoln. the Gettysburg Speech And Other Papers By Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is always demoralizing to extend the domain of sentiment over questions where it has no legitimate jurisdiction ; and perhaps the se- verest strain upon Mr. Lincoln was in resisting a ten- dency of his own supporters which chimed with his own private desires while wholly opposed to his con- victions of what would be wise policy.
The change which three years have brought about 16 ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
is too remarkable to be passed over without comment, too weighty in its lesson not to be laid to ...heart.
Never did a President enter upon office with less means at his command, outside his own strength of heart and steadiness of understanding, for inspiring confidence in the people, and so winning it for himself, than Mr. Lincoln. All that was known of him was that he was a good stump-speaker, nominated for his availability, — that is, because he had no history, — and chosen by a party with whose more extreme opin- ions he was not in sympathy. It might well be feared that a man past fifty, against whom the ingenuity of hostile partisans could rake up no accusation, must be lacking in manliness of character, in decision of prin- ciple, in strength of will ; that a man who was at best only the representative of a party, and who yet did not fairly represent even that, would fail of political, much more of popular, support.
