What reading level is The Columbiad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Hero spoke; when thus the Saint rejoin'd, Approved his joy, and feasted still his mind:Well may thy voice, with patriarch pride elate, Burst forth triumphant at a scene so great;Here springs indeed the day, since time began, The brightest, broadest, happiest morn of man. In these prime settlements thy raptures traceThe germ, the genius of a sapient race, Predestined here to methodise and mouldNew codes of empire to reform the old.
A work so vast a second world required, By oceans bourn'd, f...rom elder states retired;Where, uncontaminated, unconfined, Free contemplation might expand the mind, To form, fix, prove the well-adjusted plan, And base and build the commonwealth of man.
This arm, that leads the stellar host of even, That stretch'd o'er yon rude ridge the western heaven, That heal'd the wounded earth, when from her sideThe moon burst forth, and left the South Sea tide, That calm'd these elements, and taught them whereTo mould their mass and rib the crusted sphere, Line the closed continent with wrecks of life, And recommence their generating strife, That rear'd the mountain, spread the subject plain, Led the long stream and roll'd the billowy main, Stole from retiring tides the growing strand, Heaved the green banks, the shadowy inlets plann'd, Strow'd the wild fruitage, gave the beast his place, And form'd the region for thy filial race, --This arm prepared their future seats of state, Design'd their limits and prescribed their date.
