What reading level is Makers of the American Republic a Series of Patriotic Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All that Calvinism needs is just what the acorn needs, viz., soil to grow in. Give the acorn growth and the ships will come. Give Calvinism growth and the republics will come. Give Calvinism Geneva and you will have a republic ; give it America and you will have a republic ; yes, give it even France itself and give it time and you will have a republic.
Away back in the seventeenth century the Hugue- nots converted the city of La Rochelle into a re- public which for years lived in the hearts of ...Ro- man Catholic, monarchical France. Although in the course of time La Rochelle was leveled to the ground, France never forgot it. It left more or less of a longing for another republic larger and more endurable. That longing we have seen realized in our own day ; it is realized in the present republic of France. M. Grevy, the first president of the new republic, in 1879, in publicly giving its history, turned to the surviving Huguenots and used these words : " The Huguenot church is the mother of modern democracy." That was a tribute to Cal- vinism.
