What reading level is John C Calhoun book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Therefore the apodeictic man- ner in which he promised a radical cure, if but the application of his remedies would be con- sented to, exposes him to the charge of having been a dishonest quack, if he is not admitted to have been an honest fanatic, who, like all fanatics, viewed his subject but from one fixed point and under one unchangeable visual angle. This deep conviction of his own infallibility in relation to everything concerning slavery rendered it a very significant fact that he once w...as compelled to admit that he was at his wits' end, and had no advice to offer. Of course neither pride nor policy allowed the very words to fall from his lips, but the folded arms and knitted brow with which, after reiterated loud complaints, he suffered the government to re- main in the embarrassing situation, into which it had been thrown by trying to serve the in- terests of the slave-holders, spoke with a most impressive eloquence. Two American vessels with negroes on board, the Comet and the Encomium, had been UNDER VAN BUREN 203 stranded, in 1830 and 1834, on the false keys of the Bahama Ishmds, and the local authorities of Nassau, New Providence, had refused to re- cognize the negroes as slaves and deliver them up to their owners.
