What reading level is Remarks On the Popham Celebration of the Maine Historical Society Read Before book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Mr. Webster's great speech at Plymouth, in 1820, he calls an Epic Poem, in which the truth of severe history has been overlooked in admhation of the creations of his genius. Mr. Everett follows the authority of Mr. Webster; and " modern historians have since then taken these flights of poetic fancy for historic verities, and sought to elevate them into the dignity of history. They might as well insist, that a modern Fourth-of-July oration was the cause of the Ilcvolutionary War, though 21 lit...tered some years after that event had taken place. Regarded as a poUtical event, the Plymoiitli settle- ment was not of the slightest consequence or impor- tance. It neither aided nor retarded the settlement of the country. " These are all the specimens for which time or space can now be afforded, though they inadequately represent the tone and spirit of the lecture. We may be permitted to present, by way of rejoinder, a few "historic verities, " which could easily be sus- tained by proof.
First, It is fortunate for Maine, and for the coun- try, that New England was not peopled by the convict and mercenary gangs of Gorges.
