What reading level is The United States Biographical Dictionary And Portrait Gallery of Eminent And Se book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hoges, from the time of ^William the Second, were all wealthy Quakers, and as such took no active part in the revolutionary war, or the war of 1812. In the latter war, however, a tax of $80 was levied on the head of every Quaker family whenever a call for troops was made, which stood as an equivalent for service in the army. Although he lived and died in the Quaker faith, Joshua married "out of meeting, " and was expelled in consequence. This incident, followed by the perusal of the works o...f Thomas Paine, resulted in his whole family becoming deists.
After his family grew up and left home, Joshua purchased some slaves to carry on his large estate of 400 acres, to the great horror of his Quaker relatives and friends. After his death in 1854, they fell to the heirs, who still remained in Virginia, who permitted them, to do as they pleased, and practically gave them their freedom, but they were not legally emancipated until the proclamation of President Lincoln. His widow survived him till September 4, 1871.
