What reading level is Discourse Delivered Before the New England Historic Genealogical Society Bosto book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A popular call for any species of literary ware will be answered with commercial promptness and despatch. There is no department of letters but must suffer deeply from this slip-shod manner of composition ; but its effect upon history is peculiarly disastrous. It is impossible to describe the inaccuracy and ignorance, the slovenliness and utter want of method, the confusion and lack of appreciation, consequent upon the habit of undue haste. History is valuable only as it is accurate, and is acc...u- rate only through much study, attention and care. Rapidity and correctness, in that direction, are simply incompatible.
The same class of writers who produce the maximum of volumes on the minimum of study and reflection, perhaps by way of atoning in their manner for the poverty of their matter, have introduced a style of composition which challenges attention by its flippancy and pretence. Not content with the well of English of our fathers, they must needs eke out its waters with the wine of France and the puddle of modern slang ; they delight in words strained out of all recognition in their use, and in sounding polysyllables which ill perform the office of the brief Saxon speech ; while so stilted is their phi^aseology and so distorted the members of their sentences, that old-fashioned readers become really uneasy at the display of verbal gymnastics.
