What reading level is An Oration Pronounced Before the Inhabitants of Boston, July the Fourth, 1835, in Commemoration of American Independence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some- times a people get in advance of their institutions, as we out- grew our colonial dependence, and carved out a better system for ourselves with our swords, — sometimes they fall behind them, as the Romans did, when they passed from the repub- lic to the empire. The Pacha of Egypt or the Dictator of Paraguay — may fear the bullet of the solitary assassin, but not the insulted spirit of their subjects as a body, because they know that their necks are fitted to the yoke they wear.
The lever ...of physical power meets with little resistance, in swaying an inert mass of ignorance. Our written constitu- tions and representative assemblies would be as useless to the crouching Copt or trembling Arab, as books in the learned languages or delicate philosophical instruments. Take the world through, it will be found that every nation has about as good a government as it deserves. History swarms with in- stances in proof of these elementary truths. We need not go 19 to France and point to those monstrous abortions of govern- ment, which, ia the progress of her revolution, were begotten by pohtical ignorance upon a cloud of metaphysics, succeed- ing each other as rapidly as the slides of a magic lantern, till the spirit of the people found its proper exponent in the ge- nius of that extraordinary man, whose dazzling career makes all the wonders of romance seem tame and vapid.
