What reading level is Social Institutions of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most of the reasons I have hazarded to account for a phenomenon surprising to one who recognizes the quantity of intellect current in America, and the diffusion, far more general than in any other countr}', of intellectual curiosity, are reasons valid in the Europe of to-day as compared with the Europe of last century, and still more true of the modern world as compared with the best periods of the ancient. Printing is by no means pure gain to the creative faculties, •whatever it may be to the ...acquisitive ; even as a great an- cient thinker seems to have thought that the invention of writing in Egypt had weakened the reflective powers of man. The question follows. Are these causes, supposing them to be true causes, likely to be more or less operative in the America of next centur}' than they now are ? Will America become more what Europe Is now, or will she be even more American ?
I have elsewhere thrown out some conjectures on this point. Meantime it is pertinent to ask what are the most recent developments of American thought and research ; for this will help us to see whether the tide of productive endeavor is rising or falling.
