What reading level is A Political Survey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
143 power whicli really governs America is the power of the country districts, — the power of farmers living on their own land, a class which, in so far as it corresponds to anything in the Old World, corresponds to the English freeholders of the seven- teenth century, and has about as little to do with cities and their characteristic faults as can possibly be imagined. This class differs from that of the old English freeholders in being much better educated — thanks to the system of common sch...ools; and this comparatively high education extends far beyond the limits of New England and the old settled 'districts into the far West. I remember being told, by Mr. Goldwin Smith, that nothing in the United States had strack him more, than the very con- siderable knowledge of current English literature which he found among rough men in very remote districts. The mob of the great cities, and especially of New York, is hostile to us for many reasons. First, it is largely recruited from German immigrants of a revolutionary type, who, having been oppressed in their own country, look upon all the poli- tical systems of Europe with disgust.
