What reading level is Speech of Gerrit Smith On the Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was highly qualified for the office. He was wise, prac- tical, and just. His generous use of his large estate had contributed to make him popular. His having gone into the army, . With his 6ons and son-in-law, and bravely and freely exposed liis person in battle, had added greatly to his popularity. But, alas ! ae was an Abolitionist — and therefore could not be elected! He would have been by the largest major- ity ever known in the State, had all voted for him who refused to do so because h...e was an Abolition- ist, and also all, who voted for his opponeut because bis opponent was an Anti-Abolitionist. Socially, as well as ecclesiastically and politically, "Abolitionist" is a disadvantageous, shunned and abhorred name. Even now, after all that the Re- bellion has dons to redeem the name from its ddious- ness, the man who would get into what is called " good society, " had better be adebaucheeor drunk- ard — nay, both — than an Abolitionist. I very well remember being told by that keen observer of men and things, Edmund Quincy, when walking the streets of Boston with him, more than twenty years ago, that the great objection of his friends to his being an Abolitionist was that the thing is so vulgar.
