What reading level is William Branch Giles: a Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chesapeake Outrage and Treason Bill 119 ing eyes; he points out his objections with calculated force, and sustains his positions with penetrating and wary argument.
He certainly possesses great natural strength of mind ; and if he reasons on false principles or with sophistic evasions, he always brings to his subject a weight of thought, which can be shaken or disturbed only by the attack of superior wisdom. I heard him a day or two since in support of a bill, to define treason, reported by him...self. Never did I hear such all-unhing- ing and terrible doctrines. He laid the axe at the root of judi- cial power, and every stroke might be distinctly felt. His ar- gument was very specious and forensic, sustained with many plausible principles, and adorned with various political axioms, designed ad captandum. One of its objects was to prove the right of the legislature to define treason. My dear friend, look at the constitution of the United States, and see if any such construction can possibly be allowed.
