What reading level is Speeches By Oliver Wendell Holmes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
President Ain> Gentlemen: — I KNOW of no mark of honor which this country has to oflTer that I should value so highly as this which you have conferred upon me. I accept it proudly as an accolade, like the little blow upon the shoulder from the sword of a master of war which in ancient days adjudged that a soldier had won his spurs and pledged his life to decline no combat in the future.
The power of honor to bind men's lives is not less now than it was in the Middle Ages. Now as then it is the ...breath of our nostrils ; it is that for which we live, for which, if need be, we are willing to die. It is that which makes the man whose gift is the power to gain riches sacrifice health and even life to the pursuit. It is that which makes the scholar feel that he cannot afford to be rich.
One would sometimes think, from the speech of young men, that things had changed recently, and that indiffer- ence was now the virtue to be cultivated. I never heard any one profess indifference to a boat race.
