What reading level is The Public Man a Discourse On Occasion of the Death of Hon John Fairfield Del book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of the numerous pub- lic measures in which he doubtless had a share, and in which it is but common candor to presume that he fol- lowed his own conviction of right, it does not become me to pass any judgment in this place. His own private conception of duty is that by which each must abide the perfect witness of the all-judging God. That is a private matter between a man and his Maker. A sacred and im- penetrable veil is drawn over it, which the eye of man cannot pierce — beyond which his verdi...ct may not dare to go. Of one's opinions and modes of judging, so far as they involve his personal character, presuming his sin- cerity, we have no right to speak. And it is the more grateful therefore to me, to remind you of the public acts and passages of his life, where he has planted him- self on Christian principle, and independently pleaded in behalf of the simply right. It is honorable alike to him and to his fellow-citizens, that the strong regard and in- terest manifested towards him, by which he was almost by acclamation lifted to the highest offices of trust in his native State, was due, not to the advocacy of any one in- terest, or fidelity in party allegiance, but to the ground he nobly took and vindicated at first alone, when a 10 friend's life had just been made the bloody sacrifice to a false code of honor.
