What reading level is Eulogy On William Ladd Late President of the American Peace Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The benevolence of reform is never appreciated, like other modes of beneficence, by its immediate subjects or spectators. It prevents evil, and thus loses the credit of a cure. It does men good against their will; and they curse their benefactor. Give sweet- meats or toys to a child, and he will return you many a fond caress; but attempt the correction of faults which threaten his ultimate ruin, and you wake his young ire. Feed and clothe the worse than fatherless family of a drunkard, and from... all around will you win golden opinions of your kindness ; but, should you do ten times more good by restoring that sot to himself, and making him again the delight of his friends, an ornament to society, and a blessing to the world, you would prob- ably receive quite as many curses as compliments. Socrates reproved the Athenians; and they decreed him the fatal hemlock. Patriarchs, prophets and apostles, the best benefactors of mankind, showed their benevolence mainly in works of reform; but what requital did they receive from their contemporaries?
