What reading level is A Discourse Concerning the Influence of America On the Mind book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Without it, the press must cause con- vulsions, and retard the progress of the mind. The English newspaper press, much less free by law than the Ameiican, is in practice much more licentious. A late number of the Quarter- ly Review, (which is no mean authority on such a point) admits, in so many words, that the occu- pation of the English daily press is, to * do every thing that honor and honesty shrink from' : to which character the absence of decency should be sujieradded. The Attorney Genera...l protects go- vernment from libels ; but the Chancellor has brought about a most preposterous state of things between the right of literary property, and the want of right in obscene, blasphemous, or otherwise ille- gal subjects of that property. English party vitu- peration is much coarser and more personal than ours. But, without going into politics, it may suf- fice to notice the difference in other thincfs. There are vented in the London newspapers, regular and perennial streams of defilement — polluting police reports, details of inhuman amusements, pugilistic and others, indelicate particulars of various private occurrences, the infamous amours of the royal and noble, are catered for every day's repast, and de- manded with an eagerness which bespeaks a vitia- ted appetite.
