What reading level is Flashlights of Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lincoln said to one of them, ''Did we disturb your sleep last night?" "No, I had no sleep, " was the reply, which seemed to amuse him. But the ladies demurred that the gentlemen had the most fun after the ladies had retired.
"But, Madame, " said Lincoln, "you would not have enjoyed the things we laugh at. " Then he deplored the fact that men seemed to enjoy and remember his "broad" stories better than any others.
Judge Linder replied that he did not remember the "broad" part so much as the mora...l that was in them, and to this they all agreed.
HTHE "poor whites" of Kentucky spoke, in Lin- coin's time, and afterward, the old Shakespearean English, and, uncultured as they were in up-to-date standards, yet the writings of Swift, Smollett, John- son, Decameron, etc. , had sifted through and tinged their thoughts and speech.
Abraham Lincoln had, no doubt, received an early bias by this influence, and besides this, anyone who reads a straight, unexpurgated edition of the Bible and Shakespeare continually, must, if naturally 31 spiritually minded, as Lincoln was, unconsciously form the habit of drawing practical moral and spiritual lessons from what seems to many people with less penetration and more material minds, as, at least, bordering upon the obscene.
