What reading level is Review of a Report of the Committee to Whom Was Referred the Several Petitions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is this wide spread diversion of mind and heart, and this neglect of religious and domestic duties, a small evil ? Millions are injured by it, and gradually, but certainly, the moral power of the Sabbath will be destroyed by it.
But as yet we have not named the influence of Sabbath mails and post offices, which is most comprehensively disastrous. We mean the high countenance and sanction, which the example of the gov- ernment affords, to an entire national sequestration of the Sabbath. Until th...e mails stretched out their long lines of travel through the nation, public sentiment and law, in many parts of the land, kept back the immoralities of impatient worldliness. But this single practice of running the mail, and opening the post offices on the Sabbath, has been like the letting out of waters, — first the drop — next the stream — and then the yawning breach — till all mounds and landmarks have nearly disappeared before the universal inundation. The laws of the States relative to the Sabbath have become a dead letter, and public sentiment, paralyzed by familiarity, and faint- hearted, has not been heard amid the foam and roar of the sur- rounding flood ; until the precipice at length to which we are hast- ing appears, and a panic of fear has flashed through the land, while all instinctively lay hold on the Sabbath as the anchor of their hopes.
