What reading level is The Declaration of Independence, Or, Notes On Lord Mahon's History of the American Declaration of Independence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was to substance arid not to " form" the attention of the committee was directed. What was required of the committee was a draught of a declaration which " a " decent respect for the opinions of mankind" would require of the Congress for adopting the resolution of independence. Lord Mahon's " in the form desired" is his own amendment of the Journal of Congress — an alteration entirely unnecessary if he meant it for a change of words only ; for it was just as easy to give the words of the rec...ord as to substitute others of his own.
But, as he is careful to show a want of sincerity and [ 37 ] of honesty of purpose in the popular "leaders" of the " opposite cause/' he probably selected his substituted words as best conveying the idea he wished to impress on the mind of his readers of insincerity or trickery on the part of Congress to prepare them to overlook the imputation he afterwards insinuates, that the unani- mous Declaration of Independence was procured by evasion or deception, when he says, " by such means a " seeming concord — an unanimity on paper — was at- " tained."
