What reading level is Slavery a Sermon Delivered in the First Congregational Church in New Orleans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is not an article of mer- chandize in all the commercial world, but what ex- hibits proofs of the being and attributes of an Eternal Mind. All created things wear his image and super- scription. If you adopt the principle, that whatever has the image of God cannot lawfully be bought and sold, then to be consistent, you must put your veto upon every species of traffick. The whole business of buying and selling must be forever relinquished. To buy, is to acquire the property, rigid or title... to any thing, by paying a consideration, or an equivalent in money. Now it is perfectly obvious, that there is no species of property the right to which one may not lawfully obtain by purchase.
But it may be said, that the human body and soul cannot justly be regarded in the light of property. It is not necessary to examine this question. When I purchase a slave, I acquire the right to nothing but his labor during a part of his time — during a certain number of hours each day. No one will say that human labor is a thing too sacred to be offered in the mar- ket.
