What reading level is Col. Pickering's Observations Introductory to Reading the Declaration of Independence, At Salem, July 4, 1823 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The committee met, discussed the sub- ject, and then appointed Mr. Jefferson and me to make the draught." Mr. Adams then mentions the meeting of the sub-committee, and their amicable contention, which of the two should draught the declaration — each urging the task on the other ; Mr. Adams insisting on Mr. Jefferson's doing it, and the latter yielding his as- sent.
The draught bejng made, the sub-committee met ; 11 and conned the paper over. I was delighted (con- tinues Mr. Adams) with its high... tone, and the flights of oratory with which it abounded, especially that con- cerning Negro Slavery, which though I knew his South- ern brethren would never suffer to pass in Congress, I certainly never would oppose. There were other ex- pressions which I would not have inserted if I had drawn it up ; particularly that which called the King a Ty- rant. I thought it too personal, for I never believed George to be a Tyrant in disposition and in nature ; I always believed him to be deceived by his courtiers on both sides the Atlantic ; and in his official capacity only cruel.
