What reading level is The Remedy for Duelling a Sermon Delivered Before the Presbytery of Long Islan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Will you put into his hand the rod of his anger, and expect to escape chastisement ?
5. To vote for the duellist is to assist in the prostration of justice, and indirectly to encourage the crime.
Laws in republics depend, for their prompt execution, upon the spirit of the people. The highway robber need not to publish his daring exploits in a newspaper, to attract notice. A common indignation glows in the public mind — in all directions the murderer is pursued, and when ar- rested and convicted..., is sure to die. In several districts of the United States, a murder, committed in a duel, would ex- cite equal exertion to detect the murderer, who, on detec- tion, would be equally sine to die. The great officers of government, and other influential characters, dare not, if disposed, connive at the crime. The public indignation, like a high swollen river, would sweep as a besom of des- truction, any one who should presume to turn aside, or ob- struct its coui*se. But in this state, the frequency of the crime, and its immemorial impunity, has deadened the pub*- lic feeling.
