What reading level is Half a Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That experience and aclose observation for many years have taught me that the secular papersof the United States, with a few exceptions, are almost as much underthe control of the Pontiff as the press of Austria. Nor is it thesecular press alone which is thus controlled. There are religionspapers who throw "sops to Cerebus, " as an offset to teachings demandedby Protestant readers. These "sops" are paid for indirectly bypatronage, which would be withdrawn whenever the Bishop took alarm at anart...icle in that same paper. Protestants do not carry their religion either into political orbusiness relations, and so there is no offset to the religious, political and business concentration of Romanism. There was no other outbreak between me and my Catholic neighbors untilthe dedication of the Pittsburg cathedral, when my report gave seriousoffense, and caused Bishop O'Conner to make a very bitter personalattack on me. He did not know how truly the offensive features of myreport were the result of ignorance; but thought me irreverent, blasphemous.
