What reading level is The World's Debate.. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lacking the sense of proportion he lays stress on trifles ; he quarrels all day long ; and he is very slow to forgive.
I am painting him just now in sombre colours because they affect his dealings with opponents in politics even more than in the schools; but he seems everywhere in public life to take his stand on the fencing-floor — auf der Mensur. These are not the qualifica- tions of a wise legislator ; they account for the infinite factions of the Frankfort Parliament and its successor the R...eichstag. They explain why German democracy has been either a pretence or a failure.
One other cause of it may detain us for a moment. Frederick William IV put aside the Imperial crown offered him, on this plea among the rest, that he needed the approval of the Free Cities, which was not given.
German Liberals had not a single German city, in the legal sense, at their back; most unlike in this to our Long Parliament which could always rely on London; for London, in Milton's superb phrase, was "the mansion house of liberty." The so-termed Free Cities were close corporations, unreformed and irre- formable.
