What reading level is Life of James Buchanan Fifteenth President of the United States volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it is vain to regret what cannot now be avoided. The friends of the administration have been attacked ; and we must now defend ourselves. I deem it necessary, therefore, to state the reasons why I voted, on the 3d of March last, in favor of the appropriation of three millions for the defence of the country, and why I glory in that vote.
The language used by Senators in reference to this appropriation has been very strong. It has been denounced as a violation of the Constitution. It has been... declared to be such a measure as would not have received the support of the minority, had they believed it could prevail, and they would be held responsible for it. It has been stigmatized as most unusual — most astonishing — most surprising. And finally, to cap the climax, it has been proclaimed that the passage of such an appropriation would be virtually to create a dictator, and to surrender the power of the purse and the sword into the hands of the President.
I voted for that appropriation under the highest convictions of public duty, and I now intend to defend my vote against all these charges.
