What reading level is Two Sermons of April 1865 volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are two or three points in the history of these years which specially illustrate this position.
One is the fact that so many elements of destructive 12 power were allowed to consolidate themselves into the movement for a disruption of the government. That black cloud was permitted to gather up all the lightning in the atmosphere, and hurl it in overwhelming bolts at our insti- tutions, that the experiment of assailing them might be thoroughly tried once for all, and that all our citizens ...in every section of the nation, and the whole world, might be convinced of the hopelessness of attempting to overthrow them. Accordingly it was providentially arranged that the project of secession should have something better to rest upon than a mere spirit of ambitious insurgency and selfish misrule. There was much sincerity, and well-meaning though misguided patriotism, and earnest though deluded conscientiousness, mingled with that most deplorable and infatuated movement. A large portion of the rebels hon- estly thought themselves to be in the right : they regarded themselves as threatened with oppression; they supposed that the time had come for setting up a new government; they misapprehended, and had done so from the beginning, the bearing of their original act in ratifying the constitution, and the nature of their obligations resulting from that act.
