What reading level is Substance of the Speeches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But they who contend that this has been effected by change of principles, let them specify the change. What change of principles or of government has taken place among the nations of Europe ? We are the best judges of ourselves what change has taken place here ? Is the consti- tution other than it was when we were told, ( as we often were told in the bad times, ) that it was a doubt if it were worth defending ? Is the constitution other than it was, when we were warned that peace on any terms m...ust be made, as the only hope of saving it from popular indignation and popular reform ? There is yet another question to be asked. By what power, , in what part of the world, has that final blow been struck, which has smitten the tyrant to the ground ? I suppose, by some enlightened Republic; by some recently regenerated Govern- ment of pure philanthropy and uncorrupted vir- tue ; I suppose, by some nation which, in the excess of popular freedom, considers even a repre- sentative system as defective, unless each individual interferes directly in the national concerns; some nation of enlightened patriots, every man of whom is a politician in the coffee-house, as well as in the senate ; I suppose it is from some such government as this that the conqueror of autocrats, the sworn destroyer of monarchical England, has met his doom.
