What reading level is The Crime Against the Presidency a Sermon Delivered Sunday April 16 1865 in book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" What shall be the verdict of just history in this case? That the perpetrators and sympathizers did it ignorantly? Far be it from me to say that all who have stimulated others to this crime, really intended that it should be committed. Many of them did not mean what they said, when they shouted, "Down with the tyrant, " and others had no intellectual or moral perception of crime. Or will history involve us all in this deed, because certain men have made themselves vile with treasonable sympath...ies, and we restrained them not. You cannot — I cannot — feel that we had any individual part in this crime. But a part of this nation is involved in it, as much as a part of the Netherland Republic was identified with the man who fatally stabbed the Prince of Orange — that part which to-day love the treason, though they hate the traitor ; love the murder, though they, perhaps, would not dare to hide the murderer. And it seems as if God were saying to this nation, "You have not checked the 15 malice that led to this crime ; you did not spoil the poW» der that sent that deadly ball through the braiu of youi' President ; you have winked at the public sins that have intensified into one great assassination; your garments will be somewhat stained, unless you shake oii' the viper from your own hand, by giving more power to the public sentiment of respect for your rulers and for the ordi- nances of God.
