What reading level is The Conflict With Slavery, Part 1, From volume Vii, book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It is as old as sin; the perpetual argumentof strength against weakness, of power against right; that of the Greekphilosopher, that the barbarians, being of an inferior race, were born tobe slaves to the Greeks; and of the infidel Hobbes, that every man, beingby nature at war with every other man, has a perpetual right to reducehim to servitude if he has the power. It is the cardinal doctrine ofwhat John Quincy Adams has very properly styled the Satanic school ofphilosophy, --the ethics of an... old Norse sea robber or an Arab plundererof caravans. It is as widely removed from the sweet humanities andunselfish benevolence of Christianity as the faith and practice of theEast India Thug or the New Zealand cannibal.
Our author does not, however, take us altogether by surprise. He hasbefore given no uncertain intimations of the point towards which hisphilosophy was tending. In his brilliant essay upon 'Francia ofParaguay', for instance, we find him entering with manifest satisfactionand admiration into the details of his hero's tyranny.
