What reading level is Speeches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Gentlemen, it would be well if such doctrines were the ebullitions of the mo- ment, and ended with the occasions which naturally give them their freest play ; I mean with the season of popular elections. But, unfortunately, dissemi- nated as they are among all ranks of the community, they are doing permanent and incalculable mischief. How lamenta- bly is experience lost on mankind ! For when, in what age, in what country of the world, have doctrines of this sort been re- duced to practice, wi...thout leading through anarchy to military despotism? The re- volution of the seasons is not more cer- 28 tain than is this connection of events in the course of moral nature. " Gentlemen, to theories like these, you will do me the justice to remember that I have always opposed myself; not more since I have had the honour to represent this community, than when I was uncer- tain how far my opinion on such subjects might coincide with yours. " For opposing these theories, Gentle- men, I have become an object of peculiar obloquy : but I have borne that obloquy with the consciousness of having dis- charged my duty ; and with the consola- tion, that the time was not far distant when I should corne here among you (to whom alone I owe an account of rny pub- lic conduct); when I should have an op- portunity of hearing from you whether I had (as I flattered myself) spoken the sense of the second commercial commu- nity in England ; and when, if unfortu- nately and contrary to my belief I had 29 become separated in opinion from you, I should learn the grounds of that separa- tion.
