What reading level is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address : Reprinted From "the Century Magazine" for February, 1894 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Lin- coln did not read his address, but that he delivered it from the fullness and concise- ness of thought and memory, rounding it out to nearly its final rhetorical completeness.
The changes may have been prompted by the oratorical impulse of the moment ; but it is more likely that in the interval of four hours occupied by coming to the grounds, and the delivery of Mr. Everett's oration, he fashioned the phrases anew in his silent thought, and had them ready for use when he rose to speak.
The... other changes were merely verbal : as, "have come" changed to "are met" ; "a" changed to "the" ; "for" changed to "of" : "the" changed to "that"; "hallowed" changed to "consecrated"; the word "poor" omitted ; "while" changed to "but" ; "these" changed to "that the"; "government" changed to "governments"; and the word "and" interpolated in the last sentence.
Most, if not all, of these are clearly errors of the shorthand. Such variation as existed between the print in New York dailies and in other cities (excepting of course the inde- pendent abstracts) seem due either to tele- graph operators or newspaper type-setting and proof-reading.
