What reading level is Patriotic Eloquence Relating to the Spanish American War And Its Issues volume book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

«»_285 A word now on a special point: There are some very estimable men among us who think that even if we concede to the islanders their independence we should at least keep the city of Manila. I think dif- ferently, not from a mere impulse of generosity, but from an entirely practical point of view. Manila is the traditional, if not the natural, capital of the archi- pelago. To recognize the independence of the Philip- pine Islands, and at the same time to keep from them Manila, would mean as... much as to recognize the in- dependence of Cuba and to keep Havana. It would mean to withhold from the islanders their metropolis, that in which they naturally take the greatest pride, that which they legitimately most desire to have, and which, if withheld from them, they would most ar- dently wish to get back.
The withholding of Manila would inevitably leave a sting in their hearts which would never cease to rankle, and might, under critical circumstances, give us as much trouble as the withholding of independence it- self.
