What reading level is Legal Phases of the Lincoln And Douglas Debates volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be impossible for any tongue or pen to portray the astonished rage which this deliverance produced on the one side, or the uproarious joy on the other. The official report of it was issued for popular use in cheap pamphlet form and its 240 pages were eagerly scanned. Of the myriad copies thus circulated but few remain, one of which I have preserved as a curious memento of the times. The case might have been disposed of briefly, upon the ju- risdictional ground alone, but the record is ...extremely voluminous. All of the Justices filed elaborate opinions, two of them dissenting. The concurring majority seemed to be under the delusion that the whole unhappy controversy might be quieted by a labored judicial exposition. Naturally the leading opinion was misunderstood and misrepresented. It is widely believed to this day, I suppose, that it declared as a fixed rule of current law that a negro, whether free or not, "had no rights which the white man is bound to respect-" It does not go quite that far.
