What reading level is In Defence of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A single glance at the statistics, medical and others, of the United States, will show that, as a nation, the United States is eminently moral. Insurance averages and tables of measurement, etc. , all point to a healthy improvement, rather than to a deterioration, of the population, besides the yearly increase of that population by nearly a million. As a nation, therefore, Americans are moral, and can also claim to preserve the true Puritanical spirit. And now, in reference to the average indiv...idual encountered, is there more immorality met with in the States than elsewhere ? I would very emphatically answer in the nega tive, supplementing my personal observations with the argument that there is more work done in the States than elsewhere, and that hard work is the most potent promoter of all kinds of moralities. City centres are, of course, city centres, and are 202 IN DEFENCE OF AMERICA bound to supply their percentage of all kinds of human weaknesses and their results ; but com paring those in America with what is met with abroad, the utmost one could say about the Union at large would be that the proper use of coulisse curtains does not come up to the European mark.
