What reading level is Letters On the Natural History And Internal Resources of the State of New York book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Last comes Phillips — Phillips the Orator as he is called. O how I blush for my country — that such a brainless biped should be followed with acclamations, and covered with honors— Phillips, the prince of Dandy orators — whose "gaudy, gauzy, gossamery eloquence," full of glitter, bom- bast, froth, and fustian, is nauseating to good taste, and a disgusting exhibition of flowery non- sense. He is in eloquence what Hervey was in fine writing — continually on stilts— continually straining • after f...igures — pursuing conceits — and clothing puerile ideas in an embroidered phrase- ology. His oratory is without essence or sub- stance ; it either sinks' into dregs, or rises into lees. He is, among real orators, what a peacock is among birds — a beau among men. I do not however, mean to deny him a fertile imagination, but it evaporates in frothy verbiage, and he comes directly within the censure of Quincti&an — " Sunt, qui neglecto rerum pondere et viribus sententia- rum, si vel inania verba in hos modos deprava- fttnt, summon se judicant artifices; ideoque nan LITERARY.
