What reading level is An Address of Temperance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I know that there is a middle course which is pos- sible to some. I see a few walking in it. But I count it, on the whole, a dangerous thing which they are doing. There are moderate drinkers, and yet somewhere a'ong the line which diverges from total abstinence, lie death and hell. If to any one who thinks of the power of habit, and the influence of example, it seems best to walk along that diverging line, defending himself by the plea that he can maintain his foothold while others are continua...lly tailing, his heart is made differently from mine. I abjure whatever is connected with Intemperance. The suggestion, the association, the possibility, is enough to turn me against it !
Therefore " with malice toward none, with charity toward all. " let us inscribe MORAL SUASION on the banner of our cause! That as the first and final watchword, and then PROHIBITION next and alongside ! For, as I formerly said on this platform, the rightfulness, both constitutional and moral, of a prohibitory Temperance law, is beyond successful question.
