What reading level is The Greatness of Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Pull down if you may the musty volumes of ancient or mediaval history, examine, forsooth, the rhetorical or didactical utterances of a Confucius, an eloquent Phillipic of Demonsthenes, the cold, stern and forebod- ing comands of all the Ceasars; not in any or all of them is there such strength, such logic or such state- craft as in those lines I now quote from Lincoln's First Inaugural: "I hold that in the contemplation of universal law, and of the constitution, the union of these states is p...erpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed in the fundamental law of all national government. " Alone is comparable with the strength of such logic, the immeasurable force of Old Ocean's wild, angry waves as they beat against the granite rocks of St. Helena's lonesome shore, and in seething retreat borne upon their crests, the storm4ossed wreck of am- bition's highest hope and unholy desire.
Is it any wonder, when the cruel hand of the assassin fired the fatal shot, that made midday mid- night without a space between, the Bard in requiem of sorrow and the realization of loss penned such verse: '•There's a burden of grief on the breezes of Spring, And a song of regret from the bird on its wing; There's a pall on the sunshine and over the flowers.
