What reading level is Our Village book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What think you, fellow citizens, is the compensation proposed by the persons who have, at the expense of reputation and integrity, made those extraordinary efforts for the admission of slavery? We have seen that it cannot favour the sale of land, but will have a con- trary effect. We know that the pecuniary distress of the neighbouring slave states is greater than ours. Produce is so low as hardly to pay the charges of carrying it to market. The demand of the old countries, in their present con...dition, is not equal to the superabundance of the new; and forcing cultivation, in the new countries, by the labour of slaves, is not likely to mend the matter. The natural and easy remedy for this inconvenience, (to call it an evil would be ingratitude) is, to create a market at home, by applying ourselves to manufacture. But slavery would increase the embarrassment ; , and obstruct the operation of the remedy. To what motives, then, can their zeal be imputed, except the love of arbitrary power, and aversion to industry — and, with a few ambitious characters, political rivalship?
