What reading level is Daniel Webster the Orator An Address Delivered Before the Brooklyn Institute O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people demanded the services which otherwise would have been rewarded with the largest professional income of his time ; and he allowed this sacrifice to be partly recom- pensed by contributions of bankers and merchants, his con- stituents, friends, and admirers. To become the pensioner of men whose interests might be affected by his public action was an error which brought censure upon him in his own time and has permanently marred his reputation. Yet there is no reason to believe that it ...ever affected his public conduct. Not only was he superior to such influences, but the very faults of his character were a defence against them. This great man was singularly insensible to money obligations. Toward the end of his life he felt the longing to be free of debt. It is pathetic to see him, in his seventieth and last year, overtasking his strength to undertake a difficult case, in a distant city, under temptation of a large fee, and anxiously calculating with a friend whether life and health enough re- mained to enable him, by earning a few more such fees, to die, as he said, " a freeman.
