What reading level is Address Delivered At the Eighth Anniversary of the Massachusetts Peace Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is an insti- tution entirely of modern origin. It has no parallel in the history of nations. What effect the establish- ment of this high tribunal of nations will have upon human affairs generally, remains for time to 15 disclose. It would be rashness to propliesy. What- ever may be its tendencies in other points of view, one great, and, may I not add, happy effect, seems obviously to flow from it, that of terminating for ever wars of individual, unprincipled ambition. If, how- ever, inste...ad of a holy alliance for the preservation of social order and the peace of the world, it should prove the strong hold of despotic power, — an unholy combination to preserve the privileges of the few, against the rights of the many, — it may be the occa- sion of one war, more furious, desolating, and terri- ble, than any which has yet existed among men. — The friends of peace, who are also the friends of rational liberty, look with anxiety for the develop- ment.
If these views are correct, if there are no grounds for any future wars growing out of religious abuses, if national disputes respecting territorial jurisdiction are by the wisdom of modern times settled by com- promise, or no longer exist, if, more than all, ambi- tion's ladder is broken down, and that spirit, which could regret that there were no more nations left to conquer, is at length tamed or controlled, we may indeed hope, that the temple of Janus will be per- manently closed, and peace visit the nations.
