What reading level is Lecture Delivered Before the Georgia Historical Society, February 29th And March 4th, 1844, On the Subject of Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The visionary theory must be abandoned, except as a charity for poor youth, who must forego the blessings of education, or labor to find means for a limited course. As a charitable institution, it deserves the consideration of benevolent men, who might in this way rescue many a poor and promising youth from ignorance. Here genius might be nursed, and raised from its lowly obscurity and made a blessing to the country — for true genius is a vigorous shoot, that needs only to catch a ray of light ...to enable it to burst its cere- ments, and push its way to an enviable superiority over more favored plants; and in a State where we have thirl ij thousand adults, who cannot read, witli so little to hope irom legislation on the subject, it might be well for the friends of education in this way to advance the public weal. It might not be amiss, also, to restrict the sacred privilege of the elective franchise to those who can at least read their votes — for to make the vote of an entirely unlettered man equal to that of a Washington or a Franklin, sometimes potent to turn the scale and to decide the destiny of a people, is to hazard all to igno- rant tools of designing politicians, and to the weak and willing instruments of contemptible demagogues.
