What reading level is The Domestic And Foreign Relations of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord John Russell referred to the recognition of Greece, in her war against Turkey, as furnishing a precedent. We are not advised that he referred to any other. But the precedent fails entirely, except as to the fact of that kind of recognition.
Greece had no share nor voice in the government of herself, still less in governing Turkey at the same time. She had not furnished three quarters of the Sultans who within less than a century had occupied the throne at Constantinople, and she had not, b...y one enginery or another, shaped the legislation of the great divan of the Turkish empire so as to suit her pur- poses, in three quarters of the political measures adopted there during the same time. No state had been annexed to the em- pire for her aggrandizement, and to give her political strength ; and no war had been waged for the acquisition of Mexican or other territory in order that she might diffuse through it her peculiar institutions. On the contrary, she had been subjugated, though not entirely conquered ; subdued, with the exception of the almost wild inhabitants of her mountain fastnesses ; and ground into the dust by the iron heel of a military oppression which spared neither age nor sex, — which wrested from labor the reward of its toil, and snatched from hunger the morsel necessary to save it from becoming star- vation.
