What reading level is The Philadelphia Failure : a Review of Grant's Renomination book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In other words, why should not the whole government be turned at once (like the presidency itself) into a continental gift enterprise ?
As to public liberty, if in time of peace the military power is to reign supreme over the civil, then farewell republicanism ! Indeed, the Republican party itself, as one reads its debates in Congress, has largely lost (or stifled) its instinct for republicanism.
Mr. Sumner's fearful indictment of the President, accompanied as it was with proofs and specificati...ons, was answered how ? By an admission of the guilty facts, coupled with the astounding extenuation that they were frivolous. Is there nepotism ? Yes, but it is a trifling crime. Is there gift taking ? Yes, but it is a venial offence. Is there law-breaking ? Yes, but it is of no consequence. Like Senator Carpenter, the Philadelphia Convention considered none of these things worthy of notice.
How quenched is the ancient spirit of Saxon liberty !
How our forefathers, both of Old England and New, would have resented such encroachments by the gov- ernment on the people !
