What reading level is Abraham Lincoln the Man of the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Colfax that in all his time at the bar he never found an opponent's case stronger than he expected, and usually found it weaker. With an earnest, honest, and simple mind, and little aptitude for technicalities, his strength nat- urally lay in cases where the fundamental right LINCOLN AS A LAWYER IO5 was clear. He frequently advised the dropping of cases which could only be won by technical adroitness. Once when Herndon, who reveals his own elastic standards with unhesitating frank- ness, had dr...awn a fictitious plea, and explained to his partner that, although it was not sound, he had overheard remarks of the opposing counsel which showed that they would not be able to dis- prove it, Lincoln advised its withdrawal. After he had won in the prosecution of a murder trial, he was for a long time haunted by a bare doubt of the prisoner's sanity. He induced his young friend Lamon, when they had been retained on the same case, to return part of a joint fee agreed upon in advance, because he thought afterward that it was excessive.
