What reading level is The Life And Character of Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sheltered under the noblest of trees and the fairest of flowers. Is it not on this principle that we are to explain the occurrence of such trage- djes and the existence of siicli wretches as have lately clothed our land in mourning? Nowhere has christian light shined so brightly as here, and nowhere have good and evil reached such giant growth or been in such deadly grapple. The serpent of slavery has crawl- ed over other lands and left there his slimy trail; but nowhere has he fomented such a ...rebellion, or in his dying agonies inflicted sucli a stroke. As when the har|)oon is buried in some monster of the deep that monster in his mortal rage and i^aiu is sometimes able, Avith a single stroke of its tail, to sweep oti' the boatmen and dis- mantle the vessel. So has slavery, in its dying convulsions, been permitted to strike off our jiilot and fill our hearts with horror; but. Thank God, the staunch ship still rides the sea. And has not waited a day for a commander.
It is now more than two weeks since a crime, which scarce finds a parallel in history, was enacted in our nation's capital, and the nation is but slowly rect)yering from the first stunning effect of the blow.
