What reading level is Thoughts On Peace And War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What the war was to be for, did not appear, or exactly who should make it ; but war was surely to be, if the appropriation for West Point were not voted. Here was a member of the American Congress, the war-making body, too, for the country, who was ready to fight with any body, if a paltry item in an appropriation bill should fail. Does not the answer to the grandchild's question in the ballad say as much, if not more, for the war-:motive, than did that speech of the honorable member from South... Carolina? The motive for war is never very distant where the war-spirit is ; and a very slight one ordinarily suffices.
" To my shame, " says Hamlet, " I see The imminent death of twenty thousand men, That, for a fantasy, and trick of fame, Go to their graves like beds ; fight for a plot, Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, Which is not tomb enough, and continent, To hide the slain. " THOUGHTS ON PEACE AND WAR. 29 B[e thus speaks of the army then marching hy him, on its way to battle, as " Led by a delicate and tender prince ; Whose spirit, with divine ambition puffed, Makes mouths at the invisible event ; Exposing what is mortal, and unsure To all that fortune, death, and danger, dare, Even for an eggshell.
