What reading level is An Anniversary Discourse Delivered Before the New York Historical Society Thur book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The accounts of a new world teeming with plenty and bringing forth spontaneous productions under ever-sunny skies, were now in all men's mouths, and were eagerly listened to by the perse- cuted — despairing Protestants. It seemed as if in the moment of deepest distress, that their despond- ing hearts were cheered by the suggestions of some angel-spirit, that beyond the waste of waters which had confined the human race to the old continent, to suffer all that humanity could endure, or tyrants in...flict, there was another and a better world. The followers and companions of Du Plessis and Co- ligny in France ; of Barnevelt and Grotius in Hol- land; of Hampden and Milton in England, all looked to America as an asylum.
20 It was from this class — this disseuiifKi — perse- cuted minority, that the ancestors of the American people were drawn ; and it was owing to the univer- sality of this feeling among them, that the tide of emigration swelled so rapidly when it began to flow. Whilst the eastern colonies were settled by the English Puritans, the adjacent provinces offered a similar shelter to the Hugenots, and the Dutch and German Reformers.
