What reading level is The Sights And Secrets of the National Capital book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What the old scratch makes people indulge in this sort of stuff bothers me. The old man eloquent is a quotation from Milton, and when first applied to John Quincy Adams was well enough, but it is not applicable to the late Thaddeus. He was seldom, if ever, eloquent. He was sarcastic and bitter, and could make the fur fly when so dis posed ; but to please, penetrate, and persuade, that was not his forte.
156 THE SIGHTS AND SECRETS "He was a grand old man, in. His way, but one would never find it... out from the flood of sickening eulogy that rolled out to-day. Good Lord ! when will we have done with these windy platitudes ? How old Thad. Would have grinned, had he been present, and how he would have collapsed the pots of honey with a few words of sarcasm edging the lump of truth ! How a little truth about the old man would have startled the House ! Had his daily and nightly life been photographed for a moment, how each member would have started, as if a slander was being newly promulgated !
