What reading level is A Discourse Delivered in the North Reformed Dutch Church Collegiate in the C book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The red men, in their savage attire, with their squaws and children, are engaged in examining, with wonder and delight, the trinkets and European cloths which Minuit delivers to them as the consideration for the purchase. In the back- ground is a rough cabin, with its Dutch occupants — the forerunner of the magnificent edifices which now adorn New- York — while the virgin forest, yet unsubdued by the colonists, stretches unbroken to the northward. The treatment of the subject is natural and pro...bable ; the figure of Minuit, especially, is well studied and is finely brought out by those of the savages who surround him. Of these the kneel- ing figure of an Indian girl is perhaps the most pleasing.
This scene, which places the character of the Dutch settlers of New- York in so honorable a light, is worthily commemorated in Dr. An- derson's picture. Neither Plymouth nor Boston can point to such an incident in their history. The Dutch enjoy the illustrious distinction of giving the example to Europeans of honest dealing with the abo- rigines who owned the land they wished to possess ; and the purchase of Manhattan, in 1626, was only imitated when Penu, fifty-six years afterwards, bought the site of Philadelphia from the Indians, under the famous elm tree at Shackamaxon.
