What reading level is The Presidents Fast a Discourse Upon Our National Crimes And Follies Preached book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The holiday shops have done a good trade ; the New Year's calls were cheerful. Fifth Avenue keeps carnival on every bright day, and the Central Park invites the equestrian and the skater. Should the Prince of Wales land at the Battery to-day, and ride up to the Central Park, he might find " all classes in that state of confusion" incident to a crowd, but would see nothing of " dismay" at the impending " horrors of civil war, " nothing of that fearful panic and distress which the President assum...es to prevail throughout the land, lie would find all as quiet and serene as though South Carolina had never passed an ordinance of secession, and the right of Coney Island to an independent sovereignty, had never been mooted.
And yet, in another section of our common country, tlie picture drawn by the President is fearfully true. It touches one to sad- ness to think of the actual condition of the South, and should move us to prayerful sympathy. There alarm pervades every house- hold — that terror by night, that fear of one's own servants and dependents, of which, happily, we have no conception ; there is dis- tress for food, bordering upon starvation ; there hope has de- serted the best and purest of the citizens, while madness runs riot on every side ; there " all classes are in a state of confusion and dismay ;" there are the impending horrors of civil war ; an armed mob coercing public opinion, coercing the press, coercing men of substance and standing to give their countenance and money to the support of measures they dare not oppose ; there is bankruptcy and financial ruin, and the hourly peril of anarchy.
