What reading level is Oratory And Orators book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before his admission to the Kentucky bar, he joined a debating club, at a meeting of which, in his first attempt to speak, he broke down. Beginning his speech with "Gentlemen of the Jury," he was so confused by the perception of his mistake, that he could not go on.
Encouraged by the members of the club, he began again with the same words; but, upon a third trial, he was more successful, and, gaining confidence as he proceeded, he burst the trammels of his youthful diffidence, and clothing his ...thoughts in appropriate language, was loudly and warmly cheered. With the exception of a single occasion, when his memory proved treacherous, a quarter of a century later, his thunder was never again " checked in mid volley," for lack of thoughts or language. On that occasion, as he was addressing the legislature of Vir- ginia, he began to quote the well-known lines of Scott, — " Lives there a man," etc., and suddenly stopped, unable to recall the rest. Closing his eyes, and pressing his forehead with the palm of his hand, to aid his recollection, he was fortunately supposed by the audience to be overcome by the power and intensity of his feelings.
