What reading level is Living Orators in America volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not a sixth sense, but it is the life of all the five. It is the open eye, the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen smell, and the lively touch ; the interpreter of all riddles, the surmounter of all difficulties, the remover of all obstacles. It is useful in all places, and at all times. It is useful in solitude, for it shows a man the way into the world ; it is useful in society, for it shows him his way through the world. Talent is power ; tact is skill. Talent is weight ; tact is mo...- mentum. Talent knows what to do, tact knows how to do it. Talent makes a man respectable ; tact will make him respected. Talent is wealth; tact is ready money. For the practical purposes of life, tact carries it against talent, ten to one. There is no want of dramatic tact or talent, but they are seldom together ; so we have suc- cessful pieces which are not respectable, and respectable pieces which are not successful. Take them to the bar, and let them shake their learned curls at each other in legal rivalry ; talent sees its way clearly, but tact is first at it's journey's end.
