What reading level is Proceedings On the Occasion of the Banquet to Celebrate the Seventy First Annive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He gave to the world the example of a powerful nation, strong enough to enforce its claims, but having the moral courage to submit them to the test of Justice. It was a great deed ; it will be an immortal one. There had been before him military chieftains whose deeds will always rival his. There had been statesmen before him who had defied the unthinking majority, clamoring for wrong or injustice. But in this field of Christian statesmanship he had neither prototype nor rival ; he was at once f...orerunner and pioneer.
If some Meissonier were asked to paint a picture representing Grant's greatest work, the selection of the subject might not be an easy task. He would think, perhaps, of those earlier victories, when the unknown soldier was fighting his way, through distrust of his superiors and doubts of his countrymen, to their confidence and appreciation ; he would think of the triumphs of his subsequent career when his star was ascending to the zenith of military renown ; he would think of Appomattox, the closing scene of his military life, so full of dramatic interest and so momentous in its con- sequences ; but turning from them all, in my opinion, he would select as representing his highest achievement that event in which two great nations, returning the half-drawn sword to the scabbard, appealing not to might nor to strategy, but only to the Eternal verities, catching the earliest gleam of that light which sooner or later shall fill the earth with the radiance of Peace, for the first time in the World's histor>- submitted their controversy to the arbitrament of Reason and Justice !
