What reading level is Tis Sixty Years Since book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" To Democracy plain and simple Composite Wisdom I frankly confess I feel no call, no call greater than, for instance, towards Autocracy or Aristocracy or Plutocracy. Taken simply, and applied as hitherto applied, all and each lead to but one result, failure ! And that result, let me here predict, will, in the future, be the same in the case of pure Democracy that, in the past, it was in the case of the pure Autocracy of the Caesars, or the case of the pure Aristocracy of Rome or of the so-call...ed Republics of the Middle Ages. A political edifice on shifting sands.
Yet, to-day what do we see and hear in America ? Tell it not in Gath ; publish it not in the streets of Askalon ! Two thousand years after the time of Aristotle, we see a 11 'TIS SIXTY YEARS SINCE" 41 prevailing school working directly back to the condition of affairs which existed in the Athenian agora under the disapproving eyes of the father of political philosophy. Panaceas, universal cure-alls, and quack remedies the Initiative, the Referendum, and the Recall are paraded as if these nostrums of the mountebanks of the county fair would surely remedy the perplexing ills of new and hitherto unheard-of social, economical, and political con- ditions.
