What reading level is State Banking Before the Civil War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

) Although there was little legislation in States south of New York on this subject, the need of a better protection to the circulation through the holding of coin was fre- quently referred to by the bank commissioners and legisla- tive committees. Not, however, until i860 was there any specific requirement as to specie holdings by banks in Pennsylvania, and in the law then passed only 8 per cent in specie or its equivalent was demanded. " In Maryland, a legislative committee in 1837 reported t...hat the' ratio of circulation to specie was less than the healthy and authorized proportion of 3 to i. A committee of Vir- ginia, about 1835, stated that it was difficult to determine how much specie a bank should have in order to redeem its notes — the estimate was usually of 3 to i, but in Virginia the actual ratio was $5. 22 to $1. An act in 1837 provided that banks should have one-fifth of their notes in specie and forbade a bank to make any loan when the reserve fell below this limit. ^ This ratio was observed in subsequent legislation.
