What reading level is Orations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

You heard the rigid interdictions; you saw the menacing forms of toiland danger, forbidding your access to this land of promise; but youheard without dismay; you saw and disdained retreat. Firm and undauntedin the confidence of that sacred bond; conscious of the purity, andconvinced of the importance of your motives, you put your trust in theprotecting shield of Providence, and smiled defiance at the combiningterrors of human malice and of elemental strife. These, in theaccomplishment of your u...ndertaking, you were summoned to encounterin their most hideous forms; these you met with that fortitude, andcombated with that perseverance, which you had promised in theiranticipation; these you completely vanquished in establishing thefoundations of New England, and the day which we now commemorate is theperpetual memorial of your triumph.
    It were an occupation peculiarly pleasing to cull from ourearly historians, and exhibit before you every detail of thistransaction; to carry you in imagination on board their bark at thefirst moment of her arrival in the bay; to accompany Carver, Winslow, Bradford, and Standish, in all their excursions upon the desolate coast;to follow them into every rivulet and creek where they endeavored tofind a firm footing, and to fix, with a pause of delight and exultation, the instant when the first of these heroic adventurers alighted on thespot where you, their descendants, now enjoy the glorious and happyreward of their labors.
