What reading level is Addresses Commemorative of Abraham Lincoln And John P Hale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
98 JOHN P. HALE.
" His wit in the combat, as gentle as bright. Ne'er carried a heart stain away on its blade. " Consequently, when he retired from the senate, he bad as warm friends south as north of the line, and among them was one who had learned to hold him in a high personal esteem, the learned and eloquent Henry S. Foote, of Mississippi.
But little remains to be added to the record of Mr. Hale's public life. In March, 1865, he was ap- pointed, by Mr. Lincoln, minister to Spain. This was a ...service suited neither to his temper, his taste, nor his capacity. He had cultivated no drawing- room arts ; he knew nothing of the assiduities of ante-chambers ; he was incapable of intrigue or flattery ; he was as free from servility as from arrogance ; he had not merely a speculative lik- ing for, but he was a practical exemplification of, democratic principles. The oratorical tempera- ment, which he possessed in so high a degree, harmonizes not with the cunning or even the unsleeping and tireless discretion of diplomacy, whose methods were foreign to the guileless frank- ness of that noble nature.
