What reading level is Death of President Harrison book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" With respect to the tenure of the office upon which he was at that moment entering, he holds this language.
"Republics can commit no greater error, than to adopt, or continue any features in their systems of gov- ernment, which may be calculated to create or increase the love of power in the bosoms of those to whom ne- cessity obliges them to commit the management of their affairs. And surely nothing is more likely to pro- duce such a state of mind than the long continuance of an office of hi...gh trust.
Nothing can be more corrupting, nothing more de- structive of those noble feelings which belong to the character of a devoted patriot. When this corrupting passion once takes possession of the human mind, like the love of gold it becomes insatiable. It is the never dying Avorm in his bosom, grows with its growth, and strengthens with the declining years of its victim. If this is true, it is the part of wisdom, for a republic to limit the service of that officer, at least to whom she has entrusted the management of her foreign relations, the execution of her laws, and the command of her armies and navies, to a period so short as to prevent his forgetting that he is an accountable agent, not the principal.
