What reading level is Quabbin the Story of a Small Town With Outlooks Upon Puritan Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was seen in every aspect of society, but chiefly in the prevalent habit of 142 QUABBIN drinking, in the dull formality of prayer-meetings, and in the wretched state of the schools. The new minis- ter soon came to the conclusion that no ** revival " would permanently benefit the church, and that no efforts could raise the standard of education, until the excess of drinking was restrained. But he found out, as Dr. Johnson did long before, that moderation was more difficult than abstinence ; ...and he set to work to found a total abstinence society, of which a revived church was to be the nucleus.
The drinking habit had been universal, and though there were not many notorious drunkards, true modera- tion w^as rare. People who wanted it, got rum at the store, and kept it at home, or in their workshops. As we have seen, it appeared at the pastoral call ; it re- freshed the ecclesiastical council at an ordination ; it was glorious at a house-raising when neighbors came to give a lift, and indispensable at the annual training.
