What reading level is The Life of William H. Seward With Selections From His Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That education increases the power of those who enjoy its advantages is true ; and in this best sense is education aristocratic. In this sense, science and learning always will create an aristocracy in every country where they are chenshed. Not an aristocracy of birth, for it is education that has exploded among us the prej- udice in favor of birth. To it we owe our exemption from the error prevalent all over the rest of the world, that no man is so fit, or so well entitled, to be a king as he ...who is the son of a king ; none so brave as he whose father was a warrior ; none so well entitled to the enjoyment of wealth as he whose ancestors were rich. Nor is the aristocracy produced by education that of wealth ; for knowledge pays no respect to mere wealth : it hum- bles all pretensions except those of virtue and intellect. But the aristocracy produced by education is the increased power and influence of the most enlightened, and therefore the most useful, members of society. However repugnant we may be to admit the truth, and however glaring may be the exceptions to it, it is nevertheless a sound general principle that knowledge is power.
