What reading level is The Distress of Nations An Address Delivered At the Adams County Institute of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two centuries ago, by the peace of Westphalia the former was ceded by Germany to France, and later Lorraine became French by peaceful acqui- sition. Both became so completely Gallicized prior to 1871, that Germany has after nearly twenty -five years of reposses- sion, failed to reconcile their inhabitants. When France lay prostrate under the heel of the conqueror, and Germany, through the man of " blood and iron, " demanded the cession of these provinces and the payment of one thousand million ...dollars, the conquered upon compulsion and through necessity yielded, but already the distinct warning was uttered that such enforced cession would never receive a lasting acquiesence. The consequence has been that after twenty-four years the labor of Germany has been drained by excessive taxation to support the mighty armies necessary to retain these provinces. The spires of Metz and Strasbourg are the danger signals of Europe. It is safe to say that Germany has spent, in the last twenty years, more than the value of the provinces and the great indemnity to retain both.
