What reading level is Following the Equator, Part 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We Americans are English inblood, English in speech, English in religion, English in the essentialsof our governmental system, English in the essentials of ourcivilization; and so, let us hope, for the honor of the blend, for thehonor of the blood, for the honor of the race, that that word got therethrough lack of heedfulness, and will not be suffered to remain. If youcarve it at Thermopylae, or where Winkelried died, or upon Bunker Hillmonument, and read it again "who fell in defence of law an...d order againstfanaticism" you will perceive what the word means, and how mischosen itis. Patriotism is Patriotism. Calling it Fanaticism cannot degrade it;nothing can degrade it. Even though it be a political mistake, and athousand times a political mistake, that does not affect it; it ishonorable always honorable, always noble--and privileged to hold its headup and look the nations in the face. It is right to praise these bravewhite men who fell in the Maori war--they deserve it; but the presence ofthat word detracts from the dignity of their cause and their deeds, andmakes them appear to have spilt their blood in a conflict with ignoblemen, men not worthy of that costly sacrifice.
