What reading level is Methodism in America : With the Personal Narrative of the Author : During a Tour Through a Part of the United States And Canada book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to American ideas, the state does not con- sist of public functionaries, whether civil or ecclesiastical, but of the people. The souls and bodies of the popula- tion, unitedly, constitute the state : not a function, not an office. In the state making provision for this or the other, the American would include himself. He has no notion of public men taking his place, and relieving him of the burden of his own intelligence, conscience, humanity.
This is a living power. It is refreshing ...even to look upon a true and real American, with his swinging gait, in the full consciousness of his manhood. There is some- thing even in his appearance different from other people. It is not recklessness, not rudeness, not isolation, not misan- thropy. Nothing of this sort is seen. And yet there is an air of perfect independence and freedom, conscious- ness of strength and power, repose in the midst of acti- vity, calmness and dignity with profound emotions.
An American, more than any character it was ever my happiness to study, looks like a man who is sensible that he carries his own destinies about him ; that he is complete in himself; that he is a self-acting, self- moving intelligence ; that he has to shape his own course, and become the architect of his own fortune.
