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

— " Legislation should always be national, and not individual ; instead of which it is more frequently individual than national. This is not to be wondered at, when we consider what a mass of stupidity and ignorance is ordinarily select- ed for the administration of public affairs. It seems almost to have grown into a maxim, that " when a man is fit for nothing else, he is fit for a legislator, " — that neither talents, education, nor experience, are at all necessary to qualify a man to take ch...arge of a nation's in- terests. " Again, — "Legislators, however, are not permitted to take such li- mited, short-sighted views of things — they are placed on a more ele- vated station — they move in a higher spherc^ — they are traitors to their higli trust, if they do not look to the future as well as the pre- sent; they are in one sense, (though in a very humble one) the vice- gerents of God on earth; and, as he regulates and governs the world, by the laws of eternal justice and wisdom, in regard to the future, as well as the present; by the same laws, ought legislators to regulate and govern the nations of the earth, over whom they pre^ side.
