What reading level is An Address Delivered Before the American Peace Society At Its Annual Meeting Ma book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Already, in imagination, her soil was pollut- ed by the presence of hostile armies, advancing upon her 25 beautiful capital. A shout arose that Paris must be fortified. The Chambers bowed to the popular will, and prodigious appropriations were voted. The people who had joined in the clamor were rewarded for their pains by an increase of their taxes, and their leaders, soon after, with the loss of both office and public confidence.
These fortifications have been ascribed, but very errone- ously ...it is believed, to a desire on the part of Louis Philippe to overawe Paris. He did not ask for, although he did not oppose their construction. The vast sums expended on them necessarily increases the patronage of the crown, and affords employment to a numerous and rather dangerous population. The demand for these works came from the popular leaders, and hence while the government reaps the advantage, it avoids the odium of the lavish expenditures they occasion. The fortifications consist of a belt of masonry surrounding the whole city, but at some distance from it, and about thirty-five miles in circumference ; while on the out- side of the wall will be a wide ditch filled with water.
