What reading level is Address of the Hon Edward Everett At the Anniversary of the American Colonizat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet we find upon the banks of the Nile, the massive monuments of their cheerless cul- ture that have braved the storms of lime more successfully than the more graceful structures of Rome and of Greece.
It is true that some nations who have emerged from barbarism at a later period have attained the prece- dence over Africa, and have kept it to the j)resent day ; but I am not willing to believe that this arises from causes so fixed and permanent in their nature, that no reversal, at no length of ...lime, is to be hoped from their operation. We are led into error by contemplating things too much in the gross. There are tribes in Africa which have made no coniemptible progress in various branches ofhuman improvement. — On the other hand, if we look at the population of Europe — if we cast our eyes from Lisbon to Archangel, from the Hebrides to the Black Sea, — if for a moment we turn our thoughts from the few who are born to wealth, and its consequent advan- tages, culture, education, and that lordship over the forces of nature which belongs to cultivated mind, — if we turn from these to the benighted, oppressed, destitute, superstitious, ignorant, suflTeriiig millions, who pass their lives in the hopeless toil of the field, the factory, and the mine ; whose inheritance from gen- eration to generation is beggary; whose education from sire to son is stolid ignorance ; at whose daily table huntrer and thirst are the stew- ards, whose occasional festivity is brutal intemperance; if we could count their numbers — if we could sum up together in one frightful mass, all their destitution of the comforts and blessings oC life, and thus form an estimate of the practi- cal barbarism of the nominally civil- ized portions of the world, we should, I think, come to the conclu- sion that this supposed in-bred es- sential superiority of the European races does not really exist.
