What reading level is Select Speeches of the Right Honourable George Canning With a Preliminary Biog book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I call upon those members of the House of Commons who recollect the good old times when the destinies of the empire were swayed in Parliament by Mr. Pitt, or Mr. Fox, to say whether the labours of an Administration in those days were to be compared with what they are now. The Ministers were not then harassed and perplexed by a complica- tion of daily business, with the whole of the details of which, however trifling, it was expected that they should be intimately and accurately acquainted. Thei...r time was not then vexatiously wasted on questions of complaint and cases of pretended griev- ance, such as a pied-poudre court would not entertain; such as a court of conscience would dismiss without the award of a farthing damages. It is now expected that Ministers should come down to the House every night fully possessed of details of facts, and characters of individuals concerned, and histories of the transac- tions of years, whenever any person blasted in character may have prevailed on an honourable member to present a folio volume of a petition, charged with falsehoods and libels: and which, after three or four hours wasted in fruitless conversation, is found to be unfit to lie upon the table.
