What reading level is Discourse On Edward Everett book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Everett's genius, thai which underlies and causes the eminent truthfulness of all his performances, is moderation. I call it a quality of his genius. It was equally conspicuous in his moral conduct: it was the quality of the man. Moderation, in ordinary men. Is often a weakness. Many, who have it in perfection, have nothing else ; they are all moderation : lint, unfortunately, there is nothing to moderate, no precipitancy, no exuberant force, no enthusiasm, no hot passion, no rushing, eager ent...erprise. It is the moderation of a dull canal. One would welcome in such characters a little ex- citement, an occasional indiscretion, as a sign of life. But moderation in greal men is a noble quality, and a part of their greatness, like the moderation of tic earth's centrifugal motion liv the countervailing centripetal, [ndeed, there is no real, effective, com- manding greatness without this quality, hut onlv flashes anil spurts, — wild sallies of a lawless force, which may dazzle for the moment, but spends itself without profit, leaves no permanent trace, ami dies of its own fury.
