What reading level is Political Unions the Creighton Lecture Delivered in the University of London book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The colonies of New England had been founded by men who had fled from the despotism of Charles I, and followed with sympa- thetic eyes the great struggle for Constitutional freedom which ended with the fall of the House of Stuart. The classic names of Hampden and Pym and Cromwell were as famous on the shores of the Potomac as they were in the cottages of Bucks or Huntingdon. The classic safe- guards of English civil and political liberty, the Habeas Corpus Act, the parliamentary control . Over ...taxation, were equally cherished on both sides of the ocean. To many minds the main anxiety as to the future was the doubtful fate of republican virtues under any large scheme of polity. Could a republic govern a vast ex- panse of territory? Could a great state exist without a strong executive and a standing army ? These anxieties are printed on every line of the American Constitution. The picture which the men of the Philadelphia Convention drew for themselves was that of a com- munity of simple yet prosperous republics, recruited by European immigrants of moderate fortunes, protected by a citizen militia, and distinguished by its immunity from luxury and want.
