What reading level is Lectures Read to the Seniors in Harvard College book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They were afraid of their orators ; and, for se- curity, they fell in vengeance upon the orators, and visited them with the punishment that would have been as fairly directed against their own sins or follies. The orator was in peril of a trial and condemnation in a court of law, if any measure was adopted by the people on his motion, and afterwards held by the court to be injurious. You will judge then of the compe- tency of the people to legislate, and of the freedom of the orator who address...ed them.
Hume remarks, that the Athenians ' justly con- sidered themselves as in a state of perpetual pupilage ; where they had an authority, after they came to the use of reason, not only to retract and control whatever had been determined, but to punish any guardian for measures which they had embraced by his persuasion.' Our simple remedy for the evils of ill-organized liberty is in choosing from among ourselves a limited number to be the organ of the popular mind and will ; and the demagogue, who might easily inflame and control a mixed multitude, may find himself baflaed in his attempts upon a small assembly, coming from many different places, well confided in by those of their neigh- 76 DELIBERATIVE OKATOEY.
