What reading level is The Law of the Ten Words book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is only rarely that the accuracy of an alleged libel can be thoroughly investigated ; while as to its malice, that is a motive within the breast to be presumed or guessed at by the law, scarcely to be proved. Pressed with such difficulties, the law of libel in this country holds the truth or falsehood of a statement to be indifferent so long as it is injurious or damaging to the interests of the person accused. But then it has to limit this by a variety of so-called "privi- leged" communicat...ions, always difficult to define. And, in any case, to make the truth itself a libel is to throw a fence, not around the innocent, but around the evil-doer. It actually shields the scoundrel of private life from that social exposure and discredit which are the natural and appropriate penalties for private wrong-doing.
Since the safeguarding of one's character from calumny or detraction is thus a matter almost too tender to be entrusted to legal tribunals, all the more should the calumniator be visited with heavy moral and social condemnation.
