What reading level is Washington's Policies of Neutrality And National Defense book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From neglecting his advice as to national defense we have sufl'cred sorely in the past. Never in our history was that advice more pertinent than at this moment. We shall do well to follow the counsels of Washington rather than the unthinking babble of those who dwell in a world of illusions, and, unlike Washington, have never in their lives looked facts in the face and never have wandered beyond the range of police protection.
The people who mistake the frail conventions of civilization for the... realities of human existence, who wholly fail to realize that domes- tic peace and law and order rest on the organized force of the com- munity are dangerous guides to trust or follow. They are like chil- dren playing on the glittering surface of a frozen river, unconscious of the waters beneath. They seem incapable of comprehending that when the ice goes all that holds the stream then rising in flood are the bridges and embankments which the power of man has erected.
They are blind to the fact that if the dikes, which represent the force of the community, ])etrayed and weakened by neglect, shall break, the dark and rushing waves of the fierce torrent of human passions, of lawlessness, violence, and crime will sweep ov^er the fair fields reclaimed by the slow labors of civilization and leave desolation and ruin in their track.
