What reading level is The Right Use of History. An Anniversary Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The careful reader of history fails not to notice the development of a grand idea, which, although expressed from time to time in the formularies of the better religious systems, and delivered, also, amongst the more refined precepts of philosophical schools, appears, nevertheless, to have made its way among the masses of mankind, by the same slow progress by which other truths respecting their social relations have advanced to their actual degree of prevalence. The fraternity of the RACE, that... idea so interesting in moral history, so funda- mental to all rational theories of social connection and intercourse, is now a^Dproaching the place which it is ulti- mately to hold in the councils of nations as well as in the minor arrangements of civil communities. As your minds range from the period when to be a stranger was to be an enemy, to our own day, when the world sends to the british isles tokens of peace and good-will, and useful emulation ; when even the remonstrances of a conven- tion of private volunteers assembled in a german city, in favor of universal peace, are received and respect- fully answered by belligerent courts— from the period 34 when distress invited hostility, and war, to use the phraseology of the times, " made even sacred things pro- fane," to our own day, when the famine of one people is relieved by fleets from those of another hemisphere, bear- ing gifts of food and kind words of sympathy, and war, now become the " dire necessity" of nations, respects the domicils, not only of the gods, but of unarmed citizens — from the period when intestine commotion was the occa- sion only for foreign aggression and conquest, to our own day, when a struggle for liberty arouses the sympathies of millions of freemen in other climes, and the cruelty of the minions of despotic power is avenged by communities having no knowledge of the oppressed, but that of their misfortunes — through these, and man^^ other like changes, what evidences throng before you that the idea of human brotherhood is indeed asserting its rightful claim upon human beings.
