What reading level is The Problem of American Destiny Solved By Science And History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
) Thus were the partial and fragmentary notions of early peoples at length corrected, enlarged, unitized.
Closely akin to this is the development of the god- idea. Fetich-worship is that of the rudest people. They see a god in every individual object, in every stream, in every tree, in every stone. All they see is, however, shrouded in mystery, and they have a blind veneration for every object. A step farther, and the developing mind generalizes these objects. The individual trees, for example,... are taken collectively, and their divine rep- resentative worshipped as the god of the groves. There are, at the same time, other unitizing conceptions of the god-idea. There is a god of the hills, a god of the streams, of the seas, and so on. New classes of divinities may be evolved in the mythological system ; the strong and salient passions of our nature may come to have their deities — to be unitized, at length, with all other gods. Meantime, mankind are forming into states, with some degree of regular government ; and apparently in accord- ance with this fact, the gods are subjected to the partial control of one who is greater than all the rest, and who is their father and king, but himself subject to the decrees of Fate.
