What reading level is An Oration Delivered Before the Citizens of Charlestown On the Fifty Second Anni book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rich in the materials of an extensive commerce, they found their ports crowded with foreign ships, and themselves without the power to raise a revenue. Abounding in all the ele ments of national wealth, they wanted resources, to defray the ordinary expenses of government.
For a moment, and to the hasty observer, this last effort for the establishment of freedom, . Had failed. No fruit had sprung from this lavish expenditure of treasure and blood. We had changed the powerful protection of the mo...ther country, into a cold and jealous amity, if not into a slumbering hostility. The oppressive princi ples, against which our fathers had struggled, were succeeded by more oppressive realities. The burden of the British navigation- act was removed, but it was followed by the impossibil- 32 ity of protecting our shipping, by a navigation- law of our own. A state of general prosperity, existing before the revolution, was succeeded by universal exhaustion ; and a high and indignant tone of militant patriotism, into universal des pondency.
