What reading level is The Two Pageants a Discourse Delivered in the First Eng book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The idol-breaker himself becomes the idol : the brazen serpent, which is but the symbol of divine mercy, becomes the object of Avorship — though made to lead men to God, it leads them away ; and the hammer with Avhich the brazen serpent is broken up is sure to absorb the worship of the thing it broke, if men are trusted Avith it. The people of the living God, of old, could not be trusted Avith the body of him who shaped them, in the faith of the one Eternal Spirit. His body must 8 be placed whe...re no human eyes shall behold it — lest Moses shall undo the work of Moses, and the shrine of his ashes be the centre of the idolatry he abhorred.
How came it that this intense national affection gathered around this man ? for it was all grown between the pageants. No man ever took the Presidential chair with less personal devotion, less enthusiasm, clustering around him. No man was ever chosen President of the United States so coldly on mere principle. He went into power not on the wave of popular entliusiasm, as did Jackson and Taylor ; not on the simple uplifting prompted by gratitude for great services, as did Washington; not by the well-defined, compacted party organization by which most of our Presidents have gone in.
