What reading level is A Retrospect of Fifty Years book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her defenceless condi- tion, her agonies and cries for help, her vain entreaties, her dishonor worse than death, culmi- nating often in torture and murder in order to cover the crime — all this horrible picture fades from view, and is almost forgotten, while the iniquity of the human fiend is condoned or pal- liated on account of the lawless manner in which his crime was expiated. He often becomes the hero of the hour, and is regarded by some even as a martyr. And while the malefactor *s crinie... is almost lost sight of, and he becomes the object of morbid pity, popular denunciation falls on the heads of those who participated in his summary execution.
Had the wretch expiated his offence by the ordi- nary process of the civil courts, his trial, convic- tion and execution, attended with all the solemn- ity of judicial proceedings, would have appeased the righteous indignation of the conmaunity; would have vindicated the majesty of the law, and would have served as a terror and salutary warn- ing to evil-doers.
