What reading level is Abraham Lincoln book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Great strength of will was requi- site to acquire the education he got, in spite of the invidious bars against him, A few months of school, the Bible, Aesop, Shakespeare, Bunyan and Burns, and what was the result? The highest culture to be found in the political literature of America. And he knew his power. No man could express his thoughts for him. Ambitious young reporters in the West attempted it, but with kindly hand he put their paraphrase aside and held to his own words. The scholar of hi...s party in the East advised eliminating, as in bad taste, the closing words of the first inau- gural, but his judgment of their propriety was not shaken. Read his public letters, papers and addresses. They are profoundly serious. A gleam of humor, very seldom an anecdote, and when occurring brought at once to its point; nothing coarse, with but one ex- ception, and this apologized for in the speech itself; rarely quotations from others, and always brief when his own ideas are to be expressed, and throughout, a simple, strong statement of his meaning in the pur- est, cleanest Saxon English to be found outside the Bible, and, in some of its strains, as in the second —16— inaugural, rising to the loftiest ranges of the Bible itself.
