What reading level is Talks for the Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was as impossible for the white man to grow under slavery as for the black. It was as impossible for him to attain to his highest development in the midst of slave surround- ings as it would be for the delicate plants of the tropics to flourish in a polar atmosphere. It requires liberty to warm genius into life. It requires liberty to quicken the nobler impulses of human nature. The grandest achievements of man are invariably found where there is the greatest diversity of employment, and the... most vigorous competition in every one of the various departments of human endeavor — in the trades, in the industrial and liberal arts, in the sci- ences, in literature. But slavery was never the nurse of art or science or literature. Slavery is the uncom- promising foe of intelligence. It is antagonistic to every conceivable form of skilled labor; for to make a slave skilful is to make him dangerous. To edu- cate him is to liberate him. Slavery, therefore, wher- ever it exists, must always consist of a small, select class or caste, intelligent, refined, wealthy, powerful, surrounded by a mass of ignorant, thriftless, spiritless, debauched people, a menace to any form of govern- ment.
