What reading level is The Lesson of the Hour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Be cause treason involves such prodigious crimes, because this re bellion is so gigantic, we do not perhaps regard it with the abhor rence which it deserves. Villainy often makes men bold and des perate. But robbery and murder are not excusable because they are committed by many rather than by few, by States rather than by individuals. One might perhaps find even in Satan some qualities to admire. The enemy of the country is far more to be loathed than a personal enemy. Jefferson Davis is a f...ar greater criminal than Booth, because a nation was his victim, and he has sacrificed thousands of lives. The republic is in a life or death struggle. Public sentiment is our only safeguard. To praise the enemy is to assist them. On this account, men should be held to a strict responsibility for their expressions. These may incite others to overt acts of treason. The North is full of persons of doubtful loyalty. The subtle poison instilled by slavery is still lurking in all its parts. It is well known that many of the friends of Edward Everett regretted his patriotic course.
