What reading level is Barnard's Lincoln : the Gift of Mr. And Mrs. Charles P. Taft to the City of Cincinnati book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The feature of Mr. Lincoln's character which presses itself upon the reader of the his- tory of his administration is his long-suffering patience. One's indignation is awakened at the attitude of members of his Cabinet and of high military commanders toward him. The willingness of Mr. Lincoln to overlook the boorish conceit, the querulous suspicions, the offensive and almost contemptuous attitude to- ward Mr. Lincoln's suggestions of McClellan reveal a self-abnegation and a pathetic self- restr...aint and sinking of the personal equation that we find nowhere else in our history. It was not that Mr. Lincoln did not observe these things, for he did, and he seems to have under- stood the occasion for them, but he deliberately ignored them for the great cause for which he was willing to make any sacrifice. He felt himself, when he came into office, lacking in experience, and that was one of the sources of his modesty and the reason why he sought ad- vice on every hand and invited discussion of 48 BARNARD'S LINCOLN every issue and weighed every argument with judicial impartiality.
