What reading level is Address of the Hon Joseph R Chandler book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems, then, as if the spirit of intolerance was a part of the creed that influenced some of the colonies; and, without going into details, we may say, that just in proportion as religion was made prominent in some of the colonies, did the hostility to those of other sects manifest itself in the laws and customs of the people. And whatever exception Pennsylvania may have formed to the evidence of general hatred of denomination for denomination, it is evident that the founder and proprietary ...of that colony yielded up to fear and expediency, what others sacrificed with a hearty good-will, and his dread of " Mass-houses" was superior to his love of tolerance. While the colonies in general were manifesting this settled hostility against those who refused to conform to the reli- gious creed of the majority, and especially against the Roman Catholics, Lord Baltimore's colony took possession of the grant on the Chesapeake, and commenced the work of government. Free from the trammels of foreign influ- ences, unfettered by any laws of conformity, and, as yet, without the vexations of inconvenient customs, he had no bad precedent to embarrass him, he had no favorites to re- ward, and no enemies to defeat or punish.
